Bumble of Destruction (comic story)
Bumble of Destruction is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.
Summary
Having overshot their destination a bit, the Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams arrive in London 2064 and find the city in flames. On the scanner they witness the Bumble, a giant furry creature with a large mane of hair, causing havoc and chaos – busses are crushed and buildings torn down in flames. Outside they find the watching crowds laughing and its not long before Amy and Rory are too. It’s Rory that notices that the Bumble is moulting like a cat. It’s the hairs that are causing a laughing attack. The Doctor leads Amy and Rory away where they fill bin bags with cooking oil which they manage to drop on the Bumble from the roof of a still standing building. As the oil covers the fur and slows the creature down, the crowds turn on the Bumble, and it is not long before the Bumble is safely taken away by helicopter to be looked after and regularly shaved.
