Jokes

The 'Gallifreyan Graffito' Joke. In 1995, Set Piece by Kate Orman, The New Adventures brightest star (in my opinion), was published. Amidst all the Seventh Doctor/Ace/Bernice angst and high adventure, you'll find this joke, which is written as a quotation at the head of Chapter 15 (Hurt/Comfort). Aside from brilliantly introducing the theme of 'Doctor suicide' (Doctorcide?) into the proceeding chapters of Set Piece, Kate Orman also originated this joke, which will be familiar to --like me-- dependents of ciprimil and other antidepressants.

A Time Lord committing suicide.
