A version of Doctor Know-It-All was one of the applicants to join the [[Multidimensional Finders Service]] when [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|the Man in Grey]] conducted job interviews. As the [[Great Higher-Up]]s had demanded characters free of [[copyright]], he was initially reluctant to accept him due to his resemblance to “[[The Doctor|the time-traveller guy]]”. However, he blackmailed the Man in Grey with photographs of [[the Man in Black]], another being who was surprisingly similar to the Man in Grey, a connection the Man in Grey was apparently keen to keep secret from the Higher-Ups. Doctor Know ended up as one of the finalists, being sent to [[Scotland]] to set up the new branch of the M.F.S. alongside [[Talbot Molossus]], [[the Hydrant]] and [[0000-8888888]].

Notably, the version used in ''Strange Encounters'' appears to have been a distinct variant from the one used by [[Callum Phillpott]] in ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'', which differed from some parts of the original open-source description as well as the ''Strange Encounters'' artwork: the original Doctor Know did not wear glasses, and his coat was gray instead of purple. | Notably, the version used in ''Strange Encounters'' appears to have been a distinct variant from the one used by [[Callum Phillpott]] in ''[[Open Sourcing (short story)|Open Sourcing]]'', which differed from some parts of the original open-source description as well as the ''Strange Encounters'' artwork: the original Doctor Know did not wear glasses, and his coat was gray instead of purple. | ||
Phillpott's Doctor Know-It-All is also conflated with the preexisting public-domain [[Land of Oz|Oz]] character of [https://oz.fandom.com/wiki/Nowitall Professor Nowitall], responsible for the enlargement of [[the Woggle-Bug]], as revealed in ''[[Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'' when he mentions that [[Ozma]] once referred to him as “the [[Veritable Virtuoso of Macrology]]”. | |||
