Cowboy Gonk

Cowboy Gonk was the name given by six-year-old Malcolm to his favourite toy, a gonk with "a black moustache, a tiny Stetson and holsters around its jowls." His most precious object, he offered it to the First Doctor on 2 April 1963 in hope that he would save humanity from the Cold. Pleased, the old man called it "a feat of imagination" and decided that humanity was worth saving, at the very least for its originality. This led to him sending the Cold to Pluto, where it could live without disturbing humanity. Within two days of this incident, Malcolm had a new gonk — Spaceman Gonk — although Cowboy Gonk still remained his favourite. (PROSE: Time and Relative)
