Crossovers
The subseries The Bugs Bunny Show had at least one crossover with the Doctor Who universe within the pages of a TV Comic holiday special.
This crossover occurred in 1970, with the release of the TV Comic Holiday Special 1970, featuring the game TV Terrors Autograph Hunt which featured the titular "TV Terrors" (from TV Terrors) travelling the board in search of autographs. Late into the game, one or more of the TV Terrors may find that Yosemite Sam is chasing Bugs Bunny. Shortly prior to this, they may receive Dr. Who's autograph.
