The Doctor purchases some pets for Flamboon. They're "space bugs" that turn out to be a little time-sensitive, so a trip in the TARDIS grows them to skyscraper size; unfortunately, the Doctor has landed next to the Burj Khalifa.
This story is kind of fascinating because the entire plot arises and resolves itself essentially without intervention from the Doctor. It transpires that the bugs aren't merely growing, but evolving, so after a brief apology, they teleport away to "other worlds where we are less frightening to the inhabitants. Cute, but odd, and ultimately not very good.
Worse, though, this comic messes up any reasonable timeline placement for the Flamboon run. The TARDIS has changed over to the Snowmen interior; this means that the Doctor had his adventures with Flamboon between Amy's departure and meeting Victorian Clara. In other words, the Doctor lost Amy and Rory, had some chirpy adventures with a giant lizard, and only then decided to get sad. DO BETTER, comic for literal four-year-olds, because I, an adult man, am OUTRAGED.
