poor Juggernaut just checked his stocks & shares before posing for the cover. They're not doing well! He's realising too late he should've listened to Cyclops that it wasn't a minor dip!

This is a televised BBC story so it's canon. This is the Seventeenth Doctor. Toast-IE is just as canon as the Vlinx - in fact, no, he's MORE canon.

(art by Lew Stringer)
Roy Lichenstein drawn as a naughty schoolboy copying answers at a test: "I merely took the answers to build upon, to enlarge them for impact, perhaps making the answer itself a question: is this the sum of our parts?"

Teacher: "Brilliant work, Lichtenstein! Carry on."

"Heh heh! I've cribbed all my answers off the clever kids. Only I've done them really big and very badly, and with the lettering all the wrong thickness."
