Cat Litter was a Seventh Doctor comic story published in DWM 192 and set entirely within the TARDIS. It acted as something of a prologue for PROSE: Love and War, with Ace's room being replaced with Benny's.

Summary

Trapped in a TARDIS where the internal dimensions are constantly in flux, Ace has to find the Doctor and work out what's happening...

Plot

Ace finds that the TARDIS is cluttered with a huge amount of junk and takes it upon herself to clean it up. Asking the Doctor for assistance, he brushed her off, claiming he has better things to do.

In the console room, Ace finds that a plan of the TARDIS has appeared on the scanner. She notices that a room has just been deleted and suddenly, all around her, the environment begins to change. She has to run in a desperate attempt to find the Doctor which he eventually manages to do. He tells her that her room has been deleted and replaced by someone else's room. Ace asks him if it's another companion and he tells her the TARDIS is probably planning ahead.

Characters

References

  • Ace tells the Doctor "I don't know which is worse. You or the TARDIS!", to which he replies "We're much the same, Ace. That's the trouble".

Notes

  • Each panel in the first seven pages of this strip is assigned a number. This is displayed in the corner of each one, counting down from forty-five.
  • A double-page spread is taken up by twenty-three panels that form something akin to a snakes and ladders board.

Continuity

  • On the board there is a note stating "please leave bathroom as you would like to find it" signed Frobisher and a so-called "Osirian spiral spine staircase".
