Transcript:
Petey: Here's my comic book. It's called Doctor Stasis (he's not a real doctor). He's got a time machine called the Time Chair. When there's a crime, he goes back in time to before it's committed. Andre: And he prevents the crime? Petey: No, he avoids it altogether! Eventually he reaches a point before any crime, and he can finally relax a little. Andre: It's OK, but you should give him a wacky sidekick just to relieve the tension.

To define crime involves the codification of law, I don’t think that Petey would find what came before very comforting.

When one favorite, Cul de Sac, spoofs another favorite, Dr. Who, can joy and contentment be far behind (or ahead, depending on your position in Time)?

It’s so nice that Petey and Andre found each other.

He’ll have a curly-haired, glasses-wearing, violin-playing side-kick who gets his name wrong.

Wholock, anyone?

I just saw another Dr. Who parody last night on Community. And I think Dr. Stasis’ first name is Stacey.

Looks like he’s going to have to go waaaay back – like before Adam & Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

this sounds like most interesting comic

Another brilliant entry, Richard! As funny as Alice and her preschooler buddies are, I have to admit that my favorite characters are the eight-year-olds. They are so delightfully eccentric. Love the comic book group. Awesome stuff!

Just remembered – when I was watching Dr. Who, I started having precognitive dreams. Would dream of events on the next show . . . that was some series, esp. with Tom Baker.

I tried to enjoy Dr Who in both times around, but never managed to – just not my cup of tea (or gin). There are certain things I just do not like. Surprizing, since I was a big scifi and fantasy fan in my younger days that I never found it appealing

Dr. Science from Duck’s Breath Mystery Theater was also Not A Real Doctor before Dr. Stasis wasn’t. Uh, wait a minute…
