The Advantages of Time Travel

Never mind all this Booster Gold “time-is-broken-and-I-must-fix-it” stuff. This week’s comics show what time travel is really good for.

Without a time machine, Little Plum is stuck with the Kaiser Chiefs.


With a time machine, the Doctor and Martha can enjoy something a little more … definitive.


(Incidentally, I know he’s been doing it for a while, but I still find it unsettling to see Hunt Emerson drawing for The Beano. It’s like Gilbert Shelton working on Archie Comics, or Crumb drawing Daffy Duck.)

You know, even conceiving of the possibility of a Shelton Archie or a Crumb Daffy is, I believe, enough proof to have you put in a mental institution!

Come to think of it, Rick Geary is currently drawing Gumby, which isn't so different.
