The Collies that Duchess and King competed against in the dog show.

This is a really bad idea that will never happen, but I can’t get it out of my head.

That'ud probably slip passed the PG-13 rating the comic strives to maintain. But, as a theme, it's hilarious and Rick would come up with some wonderful facial reaction to go with Earl's circumlocutions.

Keene tries to succeed Babylon Gardens from the United States

Since he has a whole lot of money and they like wasting it on stupid things, yeah I can see Keene trying to do something like that. Or one of the ferrets. xD

"Their net worth is equal to the GNP of three small countries or one medium country.", so they wouldn't be completely helpless as their own nation. Also, I think the word you're looking for is secede, not succeed.

Peanut and Grape overhear Earl and Jill talking about moving furniture and mistakenly think they're planning to leave Babylon Gardens.

Oh geez that'd be a good one

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Fri Feb 07, 2020 9:23 pm

That would sort of be like how in shows a child thinks they are moving because of something they misheard from their parents so that could be nice provided Peanut and Grape don't freak out TOO much about it. LOL

Rex tries out for the K9s and Fox gets very anxious, remembering his inexperienced days. At first, Rex is kind of a bumbler which Fox finds reassuring but then the Bulldog starts getting the hang of things, chumming with Fido and Mungo, helping Terrance with the clerical stuff. Fox now starts wondering if Rex is going to replace him and get seriously jealous. Finally, he goes to Ralph to ask what's going on. Ralph tells him that Rex has decided he doesn't have a vocation on the force so he's not taking the job, that Fox was never being considered for getting the sack, and gives the deflated husky a combination pep-talk and tail-chewing. Fox goes wearily home to discover a big box of Rex's chocolate-chip cookies waiting on his doorstep.

The Miltons decide it would be good publicity to sponsor some Babylon Garden teams for the Olympics. Try-outs bring out the gang but don't seem too promising for the competitions.

Sasha's owner who has now lost his pet and finally realizes what she meant to him goes to rehab to try to get help for his alcoholism so he can become nicer and try to get Sasha back.

It would be "Heartwarming the arc" for me.
Also it would be interesting since it's one of the few arcs with a human as the protagonist.
I barely count King (even as Joel) since we see him mostly in Dog form.

Agreed on all counts. It could be very poignant and different, but Rick could pull it off.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 3:13 am

But the question would be would he WANT to since the comic mostly focuses on pets. Even when King was the protagonist he was a dog and we have Lois and Marion who are teenagers in bobcat and squirrel form respectively.

True, that would remain to be seen - as I understand, Rick's not fond of drawing people, and he'd have to do a lot of that in an arc centered on Hartford and his rehabilitation. Although, if his counselor was an animal - say, Mungo - that could work.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Sun Feb 16, 2020 1:56 pm

Even if it was Mungo which I am not sure would happen or even if it did Hartford might not be ready to take orders from an animal, Rick would still have to draw him regularly and I'm thinking it might be something he's loathe to do.

Gale and Shadrul discuss the pros and cons of "civilized" life with occasional interjections from Thomas and Sofie.

With Gale and Shardul making a wrong assumption about it and Sofia agreeing but when Thomas tries to correct them Gale threatens him.

I'd say that's a bit close to King's initial situation, minus direct interference from a cosmic entity; i.e, "Human who dislikes/treats pets poorly gets turned into one."

dr_eirik · Post by **dr_eirik** » Mon Feb 17, 2020 4:23 pm

OK then, how about this: King and Bailey want to go onto another date, but King is still paranoid about baby sitters and Peanut and Grape don't want to go through that again. So they end up hiring Lois.

And it turns out that she's REALLY well-versed in puppy care, since she raised Devo from a pup.

Distracted by the crying puppies, Sasha's maternal sentiments kick in and she invents games to quiet them. Unfortunately for King, these activities prove extremely rambunctious.

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon Feb 17, 2020 9:58 pm

There would go King getting any peace after his encounter with Sasha if that happened then.

I one time had a dream where the comic had an arc in which King died (presumably permanently). Does that count?
