More Doctor Who crossovers! :APPLAUSE:

Sweet! Loving the older art style, reminds me of the Transformers Marvel Comics.

Not well-versed in Who, beyond being pretty sure it was the 4th Doctor who shrunk Death's Head.

Was this the 2nd Doctor?

Pile on ye crossovers while ye may,
'Fore ACTA's ratified,
And this harmless freebie we read today,
Ensures project Mosaic has died.

Wait, I think a joke just went over my head the first time through:

Was the author implying that when The Doctor made the age-old mistake of seeing Ravage as a robot dog (which happened in at least one piece of official UK TF material back in the day), it gave him the inspiration to construct K9 a few years down the road?

If I'm not terribly mistaken, The Doctor didn't construct K-9. K-9 was introduced during the 4th Doctor's run and was found in the year 5000. He was created by Professor Marius.

It's a fun mosaic, but I'm not entirely certain that I get it either.

Bingo.

However the original K-9 was destroyed (maybe more than once) and the Doctor rebuilt him ... i'm sure more than once (the most recent being "School Reunion")

Being a Doctor Who fan, I like the idea of this Mosaic, though I'm not sure which Doctor is being depicted. Also, this Mosaic feels a bit uneventful. The idea was great, but I'm not sure if the finished work lives up to the potential. Then again, I may be among the readers who just aren't getting it.

Patrick Troughton, the Second Doctor.

If 11 had taken the TARDIS into the Bayverse, and Amy had met Sam, we'd have a legitimate reason he dumped Megan Fox.

Actually K-9 Mk. 1 stayed with Leela on Gallifrey. K-9 Mk. 2 stayed with Romana in E-Space. The Doctor built Mk. 3 as a gift for Sarah Jane Smith. Mk. 3 was blown up after detonating a barrel of Krillitane oil, which the Doctor replaced with a new K-9 model (Mk. 4?).
