Well, after weeks of staring at this page every time I log on to Safari (it’s my home page, y’see), I’m kinda tired of seeing my face at the top of this blog—how about you?  😀  Here’s something far more attractive. (And I apologize for the lack of posts.)

This is a pencil sketch of Pan that I drew while killing some time at the 2011 Boston Comic Con. After seeing so many Doctor Who fans cosplaying as their favorite characters—the Doctor (many versions of the 10th and 11th incarnations), his companion Amy Pond, and the Doctor’s time machine the TARDIS (usually in the form of women wearing TARDIS dresses, with a flashing lamp worn as a hat)—I decided to do a tribute to old-school Who, back in the days when I became a fan.

Thus: Pan cosplaying as Sarah Jane Smith (played by the late Elisabeth Sladen), journalist and companion to the Third and Fourth Doctors, in the episode “The Hand of Fear.” Eldrad was an alien life force that possessed various people in the story—including Sarah Jane; you knew they were possessed because they’d always start droning, “Eldrad must live!”

As for why Pan would be wearing candy-striped overalls, here’s a screen cap from “The Hand of Fear” so you can see Sarah Jane’s now famous (infamous?) outfit. Hey, don’t you go judging 1970s costume designers!
