Two foxes are reading 'The Bourne Identity'. One of them says, "It says here that if we want to be like Jason Bourne, we need to go on the lam." In the next panel both foxes are dressed in blue t-shirts and black jacks and they are sitting on the back of a kneeling lamb.

I have this expression. I don’t know exactly what it looks like, but it must be fairly obvious, because sometimes I’ll be standing there listening to someone talk and all of a sudden they’ll pull themselves up short and say, “No. Not like that.

Fuzzy image of the TARDIS flying over a treeline. Caption reads: I want to believe.

I think that in every story the author gets one official suspension of disbelief. You can have one thing that is totally ridiculous that you’re asking everyone to ignore.
