He’s beginning to enjoy being tackled by large Turkish men?
Eh, I’ve heard of weirder.

Damaged Goods, 1996, Russell T. Davies
A lower-class family named the Tylers, living in a council flat, encounter the Doctor in an adventure involving a dimension rift and the revelation that the handsome male companion is bisexual.
Just sayin’.
As far as the “New Adventures” go, this is pretty good, hampered somewhat by the necessity of connecting to a larger storyline, the Psi-Powers series. Which, as I’ve said, I didn’t really care for at all. It’s probably more notable now as a curiosity, since Davies went on to become the show-runner and lead writer for Doctor Who. Which is slightly unfortunate, because that’s the kind of factoid that just gives fan-fic writers false hope.

Nothing says “Easter” like chocolate in a coffee mug with a picture of Space Mengele on it.

Oh, I see they cast Tobey Maguire in the Doctor Who movie. Hmm? It’s a doll?
Well, that’s an easy mistake to make.

At last, the Ianto Jones Memorial Body Pillow is available! Extra-absorbent, repels tear stains!

It’s remotely possible that one of those items isn’t real.

(It’s totally the doll.)

I recently came across a collection of Hank Ketcham’s early seventies newspaper strip Half-Hitch.

Well, I say Hank Ketcham, it was ghosted by Bob Saylor and Dick Hodgins, based on a strip that Ketcham did draw for the Saturday Evening Post in the forties, and an attempt to cash-in on the Vietnam era popularity of Beetle Bailey.

It is…a near Platonic example of the American newspaper comic strip.

The Death of Art, 1996, Simon Bucher-Jones
A horror-story historical should have been really good. Instead, a mish-mash of ideas is what you get here, in service to the really not as interesting or good as the creators thought it was “Psi Powers” arc that ran through the late “New Adventures” books. It was the revisiting of these themes and writing styles that kept me from following the Eighth Doctor novels.
