Webcomic / Doctor Who Regenerated

Daisy Bucket is a part-time waitress and a freelance artist in the sleepy little tourist town of Lambert Head. But after a friendly ginger man commissions her to make him a drawing of a certain statue in a certain graveyard, everything changes.

The Unofficial Fan Comic of Doctor Who, written by Hamish Steele and drawn prettily by Lydia Butz (with a little help from Brenda Amerind).

There are two episodes (the second one ongoing) so far:

• The Fallen Angel
• The Tomb of the Stone Clock

There are also extras like "Daisy's Bucket List" (drawn by the usual writer) in which the Doctor and Daisy do some things she had always wanted to do if she got her hands on a time machine.

Updated Sundays. Read it here on DeviantArt or here on Tumblr (with some more extras, like character sheets).

The Tropes:

• Ancient Artifact: The Stone Clock. And, naturally, it glows electric blue. Guess who left it there?
• Ambiguously Bi: Played for Laughs for the Doctor:
  Flinders Petrie: (looking into the tomb and asked what he sees) Wonderful things.
  The Doctor: (suddenly popping out) You're not so bad yourself!
  • Daisy, too.
    Daisy: She's cute. I mean! Modern! She's modern!
• All Men Are Perverts: But he remains polite about it.
  Flinders Petrie: Carter, I'm putting this naked child into your custody while I escort this man to the authorities.
  Carter: Thank you. (Beat) Uh! I-! I mean - yes, mr Petrie!
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
  The Doctor: Alien time machine! Bigger on the Inside! Very nice potted fern!
• Batman Gambit: When unraveled from the Timey-Wimey Ball, the defeat of the Weeping Angels in The Fallen Angel consists of a clever use of their nature. And a time machine.
• Benched Hero: For a short part of The Fallen Angel, the Doctor, due to regeneration-related issues. Daisy has to lure the Angel where they want it, because he has to stay in the TARDIS.
• Continuity Nod: He's finally ginger!
  • Torchwood, anyone?
    Daisy: That's our box. Where are you taking it?
    Flinders Petrie: It is an artifact from the chamber and therefore the property of the British Empire!
  • Seasoned with some Blatant Lies:
    The Doctor: My companions never wander off!
• Creepy Cemetery: Slightly, as in, it has a Weeping Angel. Daisy loves the place, though.
• Curiosity Killed the Cast: While Daisy and Carter both have Plot Armour, their eagerness to explore the titular Tomb of the Stone Clock might be just a tad ill-advised...
• Deadpan Snarker: Daisy has a... tendency.
  Daisy: (upon being told not to obstruct the non-existent traffic) Yeah, this place is totally heaving right now, Ollie. It's a victorian bosom.
• Double Standard: Flinders Petrie is thoroughly convinced (for a while) that the Doctor must be a grave robber out for his treasure, and dragging an innocent young woman, barely dressed, along. For shame!
• Failed Attempt at Drama: He's wearing a rather nondescript shirt and trousers that probably belong to Ollie, so the Doctor's attempt to introduce himself properly goes:
  The Doctor: I am the Doctor. (Beat) I'm... usually wearing something a bit better when I say that.
• Failed a Spot Check: Do not be like our heroes! Pay good attention to the page 11 of The Fallen Angel... (and for Rassilon's sake, no blinking!)
• Fisher King: This Doctor's TARDIS is a spacious, clean and rather homely place.
• Five-Second Foreshadowing: The Tomb of the Stone Clock has writing on the wall that does not look Egyptian... in the chamber right next to the one containing the modern Gallifreyan-inscribed Ancient Artifact.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Coda of The Fallen Angel, In-Universe. Whose brilliant idea was it to scan the image of an Angel into her computer?
• The Gay '90s: The Tomb of the Stone Clock is set in 1892.
• Greed: This is Ollie. This is Ollie being shown a large amount of money. It is justified by him becoming the head of the family and sole provider when he was eighteen (hence, financial insecurity and heavily implied trauma), but still.
• Hall of Mirrors: Weaponised in The Fallen Angel, but the Doctor notes that will only slow it down, not kill it.
• Hated Hometown: Daisy explicitly says she hates Lambert Head and wants to leave.
• Have We Met Yet?: The Fallen Angel is very timey-wimey, with the Doctor from the end of the story meeting Daisy on the first page, a couple of hours before he first meets Daisy, in order to establish the Stable Time Loop.
• Insectoid Aliens: The Scarovales look sort of like shiny beetles. They also have Super Spit of the venomous kind.
• It Was Here, I Swear!: Here. Unusually, the Doctor knows better than to disbelieve Daisy about a Weeping Angel that she says has been there (it has...).
• Madness Mantra: Daisy's "I'm in my box" is played entirely seriously. Sometimes, Fear Is the Appropriate Response.
• Major Injury Underreaction: While the regeneration goes a bit south:
  The Doctor: I may be dying. Slightly.
• Metaphorgotten: While still cooking after his regeneration, the Doctor's mind keeps going off the rails. It's hilarious.
• Mr. Exposition: The Doctor. Loads.
• Mundane Object Amazement: Carter thinks Daisy's sunglasses are amazing.
• Naked First Impression:
  • Well, he is wearing TARDIS-blue y-fronts, but that's the first time (from his perspective) Daisy sees the Doctor.
  • Daisy herself has this effect on the locals in The Tomb of the Stone Clock, in which she's wearing a perfectly normal sundress, a scarf, leggins and boots, but the story is set in Victorian times, for which such an attire is innapropriate bordering on scandalous.
• Not Himself: The Doctor here. Really not himself.
• The Nth Doctor: In The Fallen Angel, he's only just regenerated and is still in the throes of regeneration trauma.
• Oh, Crap!: Fairly often. The Doctor's "we're deep in trouble" face involves bulging eyes.
• Promotion to Parent: According to the cast page, when their parents were mysteriously killed Ollie had been eighteen and Daisy twelve. Hence his somewhat smothering overprotectiveness.
• Red-Headed Hero: After his regeneration, the Doctor.
  The Doctor: Red! I'm ginger! Or... poisonous?
• Reality Warper: Touch the Stone Clock, and you will be one. Daisy, at least, doesn't seem able to control it.
  Hologram interface: Alterations aborted. Restoring reality to previous version.
• Sarcastic Devotee: Daisy is an observant Deadpan Snarker and a companion who sees every hole in the Doctor's reasoning.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: The sand slabs, or slave drones used by madame el Atrash.
• Singing in the Shower:
  The Doctor: Fly me to the moon! Let me play among the stars...
• Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: Well, for Scarovales, it does. Hence the need to steal the Doctor's overclothes before impersonating him. That, and Naked People Are Funny.
• Shout-Out:
  Daisy: I'm still expecting Derren Brown to show up any minute.
  • In Tomb of the Stone Clock she compares herself to Lara Croft, to Carter's confusion.
  • Also in Tomb of the Stone Clock, there is some Stargate-y imagery - as the artist notes in the comments, Egyptian archaeology + aliens = Stargate-yness pretty much inevitably.
• Small Town Boredom: Daisy. But then she becomes the companion.
• Stable Time Loop: The TARDIS vanishing in The Fallen Angel because the future version of the Doctor took her, so it's okay. The Doctor goes through a Moffat-worthy stable time cat's cradle in this one.
• Temporal Paradox: Fittingly, The Fallen Angel contains both several of these and the Weeping Angels. One could argue that the Angels bring the Timey-Wimey Ball into the play. Har-har.
• The World Is Just Awesome: The Doctor philosophises in this way to convince Daisy to be his companion here. He also mentions, quite matter-of-factly, his need for a Morality Chain.
  The Doctor: ... whenever I'm alone too long... I become someone I don't like.
• The Unmasqued World: "It's 2012. A lot of things have happened to the Earth. First contact, invasions... Everyone knows about aliens." Daisy also tells her brother to call UNIT if she doesn't come back in two hours. Err...
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Our heroes might have, between the two of them, unwittingly set up an invasion of the Angels . Or something.
• Waking Non Sequitur: The Doctor's first words (after falling out of the TARDIS, a bit underdressed. And singed.)
  The Doctor: Fire. Clothes were on fire. Weren't they?
• What Does This Button Do?: Daisy finds out the hard way.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: Scarovales. The one the Doctor encounters tells him of a larger group of shapeshifters who may or may not show up in the future.
• Young Future Famous People: Daisy wanted to meet Howard Carter, and there he is! Seventeen and a bit dorky, apprenticing under good ol' fashioned Flinders Petrie.
