Talk:The Invasion of Bash Street (comic story)

Prop delete[[edit source]]

Sorry, why do we want to delete this? The revision history says, "not major enough", but that doesn't tell me a whole lot. There are tons of articles around here about extremely minor things, and they're perfectly acceptable. Why don't we want this one? And surely we can at least save some of this information for inclusion on some other page (Doctor Who parodies, maybe?) CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 05:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I would hazard a guess that it is because all the other parodies were produced by the BBC whilst this comic (from reading the information as I've never seen it) would be akin to the comics that sometimes appeared in Mad Magazine or perhaps Dr Poo or something like that. --Tangerineduel 16:06, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup[[edit source]]

It's not horrible as it stands, but the plot section in particular could use a copy edit. Something about it being in present tense doesn't sit well with me. I've also removed two whole sections because they're just, well, silly. Here they are:

==Discontinuity, Plot holes, Errors==
*What is the object seen in frames 3-6?
*Why did the Dalek go to Bash Street School?
*How did the pupils take the top off the Dalek?
*How did the Dalek get boils?
*Why doesn't the Dalek use [[rel]]s?

==References==
*The [[Dalek]] says several classic catchphrases including 'We are the masters of Earth!', 'Daleks conquer and destroy!', 'We are the supreme power of the universe!' and 'My vision is impaired! I cannot see!'
*The pupils refer to the Dalek as a "Metal dustbin".

C'mon. Discontinuity in an obvious parody? We're gonna bitch about the Daleks not using rels in The Beano? That's totally missing the point. You can't have continuity errors in a parody. By definition. Also, references are just weak. Again, it's a parody.

Put another way, this is non-canonical so therefore references to the DW universe proper aren't possible according to Tardis:Resources and Tardis:Canon policy. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 06:00, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Balloonatics[[edit source]]

It seems like the first issue of BeanoMAX actually included 2 connected comic stories, complete with their own title cards. The first is "Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics", and the second is "The Invasion of Bash Street", which seemingly follows on from the events of the previous story. Shouldn't there also be a page for the prior story at Dennis the Menace in Balloonatics (comic story)? Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 14:27, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
