The World Famous Doctor
I just stumbled across the short parody mashup story Snoopy is a Time Lord by William Hrdina, crossing the TV special “You’re the Greatest, Charlie Brown” with the world of Doctor Who (and not, I think we can assume, authorized by anyone). Now, usually I might not post about a small-time parody …
