it's ya boi

decided to be all what the fuck, let's lean into him looking like christopher lloyd, i can probably do a better job at it than i did in high school

but leave in enough cues that it still looks like professor doc

honestly the hugest tipping point between professor doc and doc brown is the presence of the widows peak, but

remembering professor doc classic, in which he... doesn't wear pants???? yeah i'm not sure i knew how labcoats worked, they're not dresses, they usually go over clothes

really wanted to make sure it was obvious professor brock wears pants

"Professor Doc" was """""created""""" for the third Walkerton Klik&Play computer game, "Walkerton 3: Immaturity Day," as this """""parody""""" of ID4 also included time travel.

i don't think he's wearing a shirt either

Concurrently, Professor Doc showed up in my high school newspaper comic strip Sly Sirs, where he was a science teacher.

and then professor doc had a somewhat storied career in It's Walky! once the college stories of Roomies! started shifting over there

he was not a very empathetic scientist

one could even say he was a jerk

anyway, i was going to put joyce and dina and becky into a science class after the timejump, and i needed a science teacher and....

well it just seemed like it had to be done, so

but dean mchenry once made fun of the mere idea of somebody called professor doc so he got a rename, the end

me in 2013: welp i'm making this professor doc joke, guess he doesn't exist in this universe
me in 2020: lol try and stop me

my apologies to the professor doc purists who are upset that he is no longer clearly naked under there

in conclusion
