Time Lords do age, but they have incredibly long life spans, even within a single regeneration. Matt Smith’s incarnation stayed on one planet defending it for about 900 years, and went from looking young to being a wizened old man with a failing memory.
Traditionally, it’s assumed that barring accidents, they can expect to live something like 1000 years per regeneration – so about 13,000 years in total! xD
Another adventure for the Doctor as Derpy helps the poor pony with her groceries, and get into her house, and make dinner, and set the table, and the dishes, and help with the kids, and intercede with marriage counseling, and help redecorate and….
Enough! Says the Doctor.
.,..on the way to the Tardis it starts all over again.
When they landed in pre-event time, Derpy must have transformed from pony to what would have been her human form in an alternate nonmagical timeline. Since pony Derpy doesn’t wear clothes …
Considering what they were doing, I feel sorry for him and Derpy. Still, I wonder… how did you ever keep from at least drawing this page a dozen times over? (including nsfw versions?) lol!
I know that when I’ve written in the past, the longer I had an idea that was deep into the story, the harder it was to focus on the stuff leading up to it without wanting to change it.
Who flew first, Derpi or the pegasi.
Cue the appearance of the space pterodactyl Reapers that are drawn to paradoxes, like in that episode with Rose Tyler’s dad.
Bring in the pretodactyl cannon to defend village housing!
Seventy percent accuracy thirty percent failure?! Are you kidding? Do you want to be sued?
Nothing less than one hundred percent failure will do! No survivors!
Got to clear the area for sustainable development! PONIES!
I know you can do it, Doctor! The next attempt will go well, for sure! (If not, three’s a charm!)
Honestly, I’m beginning to think he slacked off at the Academy, and completely missed the part where they taught how to materialize a TARDIS on target. He’s landing it with the “brakes” engaged most of the time, for crying out loud! (Yes, he said he just liked the sound. Maybe he also just enjoys missing his destination completely?)
If I remember what the tardis said when she was put into a human body, The tardis lands where it NEEDS to, not where the doctor wants it to. (the tardis partially flies itself)
Welp that’s unfortunate timing
Pffft, that’s just priceless. Though, what exactly IS his lifespan? How many times can he redo this?
He is like 900y old when Tennant is acting as him. Aren’t they actually ageless as long as they are not force to use all their regenerations?

So who is this strange female who took the Doctors place?

Just to let you guys know. This page was planned right from the very start. It’s been sitting in my brain since before I sketched book 1 page 1
Well that’s just awesome. 🙂
Complete with naked human Derpy?
When they landed in pre-event time, Derpy must have transformed from pony to what would have been her human form in an alternate nonmagical timeline. Since pony Derpy doesn’t wear clothes …
Ah. I’ve been wondering why you’ve kept mentioning Derpy being in the comic.
You’ve written and illustrated hundreds of pages of web-comic to set up a joke.
You, sir, have my eternal respect.

Well, that was unexpected xD
Hold up, what were they doing in there
Well you have tried Doc.
Also it’s appears that Tardis it’s not like the Mirror Portal as it not give cloth for Pony into human transformations. xD
….if Derpy and the Doctor stay on, for the Tardis only takes him where he’s needed…
Does that mean all modern learn pegisi flight came from perfecting Derpy’s teaching?
Derpy taught the pegiso, the pegisi taught derpy, derpy taught tge pegisi….so who taught derpy or the pegisi to fly?
Who flew first, Derpi or the pegasi.

WHY! PRETODYACTYL CANNON! WHY???!!!!
Not space pterodactyls…they’re called “Clockroaches”. xP Although yeah, more like pterosaurs.

The TARDIS NEEDS him to be an adorkable pony.
Tardis: My Doctor! Get your own Doctor you cross eyed…
Or…
Worring smile.
….be the Doctor…to busy to be near MY DOCTOR!!!!
Well!
Of ALL the things I though we might see when this strip was posted, I must admit that – THIS – was not anywhere on my list of possibilities.
…Well Done!
