Christmas Times... (comic story)
Christmas Times... was the ninety-third instalment of The Daft Dimension. It was printed in DWM 572.
Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
In the TARDIS, Susan Foreman happily unwraps a Christmas present addressed to her from her grandfather - a book titled "The True Story of the French Revolution". She thanks her grandfather for the present, but the Doctor appears clueless. Some time later, Adric unwraps a present addressed to him, again, from the Doctor - a "How to Build an Escape Pod in Thirty Seconds" kit. Adric thanks his Doctor for the "interesting" present, but the Doctor is just as clueless as before. Later still, Ace unwraps a new baseball bat from the Doctor, whom she thanks, the Doctor yet again clueless. We cut to the Thirteenth Doctor returning from a shop to her TARDIS, carrying a pile of wrapped presents. She tells the readers that the best thing about time travel is you can send presents to people you forgot to buy things for back in the day, before wishing them a "Happy Christmas!"
