Question Does anyone know who might have made this?
I've had this for about 7 or 8 years. I inherited it from my uncle. Back in the 80s onwards he was friends with John Nathan Turner and his partner. After his partner died this, and a few other personal items (and cash!), came to my uncle in his will. I'm sorry, I can't remember his partner's name.
As I was the nearest thing to a Dr Who fan in the family my uncle wanted me to have it. It's been on my wall for years now but I have no idea who might have done this? There is a signature but not much help but I'm thinking it may have been someone involved in the production?
I've been thinking about it because we found out after his death my uncle had a rather colourful life! We are still finding out more even now.
Anyway, just sharing this here, if it breaks any rules please feel free to delete. I just don't have any other Whovians to show it to!

Thank you. A bit of a circular route to get to my wall but I really like it

This is from a cartoon series called Nix View, which was a regular feature in DWM during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
It was created by an artist called Nick Miller. This particular cartoon is the twenty-ninth installment) and appeared in DWM #164 in September 1990.

Actually now I’m doubting myself. I think it was in DW Magazine around issue 150 but I’d have to go rummaging to be sure. I’m old and as a wise man once said; the memory cheats!

Can’t confirm which because I have a bad memory, but I had the same magazine, (I assume) because I definitely saw this in there.

The signature and handwriting appears to be Nick Miller. For comparison https://andersonandgarland.goauction.co.uk/stock/353662-5.jpg?v=63912879083033
Signature, handwriting and the Seventh Doctor all match
