The Very Cool Bow Tie! (comic story)

 was a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2011.

Summary
The Doctor is out to impress Amy Pond and Rory Williams with his new bow tie – it’s cool – it has a built in perception filter that makes people think that bow ties are cool! Unfortunately Rory and Amy aren’t impressed (which considering they are dressed up in ‘princess’ and ‘night in shining armour’ costumes doesn’t please the Doctor. So to prove his point he takes the TARDIS to somewhere it will work. However swinging the TARDIS doors open on an alien world and announcing “Bow ties are cool!” doesn’t have the desired effect and very soon the Doctor is being chased by a mob determined to wrestle each other and anything in their way to get to the bow tie! The Doctor is unable to find the off switch and is rescued by Amy and Rory from the crowd and in a fight to grab the bow tie it is ripped apart and breaks- releasing the crowd and returning things to normal. The Doctor helps tidy up the mess left behind realising that bow ties can be dangerous “…. because they are so cool!”
