4''[[http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/ The Daily Dalek]]'' project was begun on May the 9th 2011, by cartoonist and illustrator ''[[http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/about/ Anthony Naylor]]'', a.k.a Tone. It is a browsibly silly, {{Fanfic}} comic that is updated daily at around midnight, based on the Daleks from Creator/TheBBC television show ''Series/DoctorWho''. It features the evil tin can characters from the show in humorous situations, acting out seemingly normal lives while doing quite odd things.

6The comic is a single-panel, ScienceFiction, WebComic aimed for that nerdy itch. The author and cartoonist has stated that the main goal of the comic is an attempt to create a full year of situation cartoons featuring Doctor Who's oldest nemesis.

8The cartoons are drawn on 100 gm cartridge paper using 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 ROTRING Tikky graphic pens. To colour the cartoon, LETRASET Permanent twin-tip Promarker pens are used, which give a nice flat colour and blend in nicely. The image is then scanned into Photoshop using 300 dpi to add some shadowing.

11!! This comic provides examples of:
12* AlternateUniverse: Anthropomorphic version of Daleks in Skaro.
13* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a comic -- about Daleks, and it's Daily (hopefully).
14* FoodPorn: [[http://www.tonecartoons.co.uk/blog/archives/1383 "The Delicious Miss Dalek is an example of our passion for celebrity food shows"]]
15* RecurringElement: Daleks.
16* TimeTravel: Daleks developed a time machine similar to the TARDIS, except that having no chameleon circuit it could not change shape. By the time of the Last Great Time War, the Daleks had temporal technology at least comparable to their enemy, the Time Lords, themselves. The casing of the Cult of Skaro (if not ordinary Daleks) contained the ability to effect an emergency temporal shift, making their shells in effect a small time machine.
