Xrkl

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Xrkl was a short, humanoid alien with a wide, bald, yellow head. Xrkl once watched in amusement, at the controls of their ship, as another of Xrkl's species stood atop a small planetoid resembling Earth and joked that they were "on top of the world".

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Blake's 7 Summer Special remake of one of the jokes in Loony Laffs.

Xrkl's friends' joke in Loony Laffs was later submitted by a fan to Blake's 7 Magazine and adapted into a comic strip in the 1982 Blake's 7 Summer Special. Accordingly, Xrkl reappeared there, though their name was rendered as "XR KL". As the Blake's 7 Summer Special's crew appeared not to be aware that the joke had already been used in a commercial product, it is unlikely that licensing for the character of Xrkl was cleared. Accordingly, this "second appearance" by Xrkl is not covered on this Wiki.
