Panda and the Bus to Space?
It's a neat coincidence, sure, (fun to note in behind the scenes sections, I guess) but is there any evidence that Paul Magrs was inspired by this story for the character of Panda? For what I understand, "Panda" as a character originates from an actual stuffed panda toy owned by Magrs. I kinda think it's informative to readers of the wiki that it be made clear that Panda was a later addition to Iris Wildthyme's world, rather than mentioned in a story a decade before.

- I have a very strong feeling it was intentional, considering that Teenage Kicks was set in Putney Common. Three visible ties to the Iris Wildthyme series, so I honestly believe Margs had read this and took inspiration from it. The Teenage Kicks story didn't specify if the Panda in question was a ten inch tall stuffed toy, so Margs could've easily gotten the whole toy aspect from the stuffed toy he owns.
