Doctor Snoopy
I decided to go with a lighter blog post for today. Feel free to debate and discuss.
#
Proposal: Snoopy is actually a Time Lord. Probably the Doctor.
Evidence:
- Snoopy was first sighted on Earth in October of 1950, and was around for far longer than any known beagle. Also, his appearance changed over time. (But he’s always been a white male!)
- His dog house is canonically bigger on the inside.
- And it flies. (Though it doesn’t always take him where he intended to go.)
- He is known to have traveled in space.
- He has a companion, one he understands and communicates with despite their different languages. (TARDIS translation circuit?)
- He owned a Van Gogh. (The link between Van Gogh and the Doctor has been well-established.)
- He’s been known to wear bow ties.
Conclusion: Time Lord!

This has implications for my theories regarding Oscar the Grouch.

Not a fan of Dr. Who (I know, I know, DUCKS), but I adore Snoopy! I think that I did my first fanac ever with regard to Snoopy: I so loved the comic strip that ran in the daily paper that I began cutting it out every day (the day after of course) and pasting it into a big scrapbook: the Sunday color strip took the whole page. I adore Snoopy!
There was a t-shirt for sale the other day that I immediately bought that had Calvin and Hobbes and a cardboard box as a Tardis–I guess I just love the crossovers between the Dr. Who verse and my fan ‘verses.!

Dear Mr. Hines,
I admit, I was sceptical of your claims in the beginning. The first 6 points were persuasive, but I was not entirely sure. Then I reached point #7 and … and … OH MY GOD! I don’t think there can be any more doubt.
Any thoughts on the other time lords who have graced our planet with their presence: Bill Nye and Mary Poppins (http://www.babble.com/disney/12-reasons-mary-poppins-is-secretly-a-time-lord/)?

I knew about Mary Poppins, but hadn’t realized Bill Nye was a time lord as well!

2 other pop culture Time Lords:
Darren Stevens (Bewitched) and Lionel Jefferson (The Jeffersons) both have displayed regenerative powers during the respective show’s runs (in fact Lionel pulled off the unbefore seen ability to actually regenerate back into a previous body!)
