Mash-Up: Doctor Who / Peanuts


"Inspired by this, I decided to do a Charles Schulz treatment of the 11th Doctor and his companions."

Things can get complicated when it comes to Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey-stuff.  The universe is full of what ifs, impossibilities, and paradoxes. So, what if Charles Shulz had been called upon to write a season of Doctor Who? Instead of a TV series, we might have gotten a comic strip or a cartoon that looked a bit like this. Thanks to artist Larry Wentzel, we can now imagine what they might have looked like.


I always thought there was something sinister about the Peanuts. I mean, what's up with those sounds the adults make? It's like the TARDIS stopped providing psychic translations.  And why are there so many kids running around unsupervised? What did those kids do to all of the adults?


I imagine after the 11th Doctor was put in the Pandorica, the villains broke out into a little celebratory dance. Apologies to Charles Schulz and the Peanuts characters.
Dance like nobody's watching, Lucy, because those are the only times when you can!
