::My theory would be that Magrs had already invented Panda, the Bus and Iris by that point, and talked about them as a loose project with Cornell, who decided to drop a reference to his colleague's then-upcoming project. It's well-known that the name of Iris Wildthyme had been trotting around Magrs's mind, and showing up in his fiction, long before he finalised her inoculation into the DWU; it could easily be the case of Panda and the Bus as well. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:14, June 21, 2020 (UTC) | ::My theory would be that Magrs had already invented Panda, the Bus and Iris by that point, and talked about them as a loose project with Cornell, who decided to drop a reference to his colleague's then-upcoming project.

:::Oooooh. That’s a good point. I’d forgotten that Cornell and Magrs were good friends, to the point of a character in [[Love and War (novel)|| being named after Magrs...
