Considering they were on EXTREMELY bad terms in Cerb’s first appearance, I doubt a more detailed a look at their relationship would be very fun. It would probably just be depressing.

Throw in a little gal pal vs Big Sister friction might generate some snickers. Or maybe Keene's Mom.

Rock tries his hand at producing a musical using talent from Babylon Gardens. Doesn't go too well since only Fiddler, Keys and Sasha are good at singing and everybody else makes ears bleed. XD

Duchess plots to ruin the Miltons by enlisting Nega-Breel to wreck the foundation's investments. However, she fails to reckon on "Aardvark, Fiscal Detecive" ... and the fact that the Foundation's account books are a titanic mess.

Colleen is back - and she wants to involve the Miltons in a plot to ruin Duchess. Keene is tempted, Breel is aghast, and Nega-Breel just wants to know who he can murder.

Another female fox comes out of the blue and claims that Kits (Kitsune's mortal form) is the father of HER kit (though she is mistaken because Kits just LOOKS like him).

Wacky soap opera hijinks ensues.

Rock Milton wants a contract, a casting call, and twelve weeks of 22 minute scripts by Thursday. Talks are underway to get Tiger to direct, Marvin to provice production sites, and Zach Rabbit will stand-by on stage to wring his hands and bemoan any disasters upon cue.

An Imaginate of the old sixties comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. You could probably find a role for every critter in the Housepets! cast in that epic, assuming Rick had the decade to devote to drawing that epic.

King misses Kitsune's antics to the point where he would do what it takes to bring him back, twelve tasks even.

Just something I'm planning to write. That's all.

A horrific calamity like a flood or a drought ends up hitting Babylon Gardens when everybody comes back and not everybody ends up surviving with most of the cast wiped out. This will definitely NEVER happen as it seems way too dark.

This isn’t really “fun” to think about as much as it is kinda depressing. Tiger the character is obviously severely mentally ill and his family members abandoning him would probably just lead to disaster and tragedy.

The barn cats get adopted by new owners and end up in Babylon Gardens with Peanut and Grape which leads to a lot of pillow fights between them and Grape and a lot of the male characters having to jump into a lake. :mrgreen:

Then he finds FIFA games and since it's a video game about soccer, he immediately regains interest in video games.

I had an idea a long time ago that the residents of Babylon Gardens start playing soccer and (since you brought him up) Deevee becomes the referee, meanwhile North Star and Rockstar Hawk bet on the matches. As the stake gets higher the two brothers try to persuade Deevee to manipulate the game in their favor but he comes up with a cunning plan to get back at them so both Rockstar and North Star lose.
My problem is that I can't imagine most of the residents of BG playing soccer outside of maybe Bailey and Kevin
I dunno, just imagine something funny here

Intriguing. Sports as a venue for comedy, recurring themes in comics like Peanuts and Pogo never seem to have interested Rick. Odd, in a way, because forming teams and having them play/confound games like baseball, football, soccer or hockey would allow him field a large number of his extensive cast of characters.

After disappearing from the comic with her first appearence, Colleen has returned to Babylon Gardens and is determined to take control of the Good Ol' Dogs' Club - by stealing Bino away from Duchess. Brace yourselves for the epic "Battle of the ... um ... well, you know ... PG-13 and all that ...: :oops: :oops: :oops:

To be fair, I wouldn't mind seeing that because Colleen from what we have seen is the lesser of two evils. She may be a nasty piece of work to Duchess but she might not be that bad to anybody else. She could treat Bino better.

Of course, that would mean she broke up with her boyfriend Karo though. He seemed like a good, if smug guy.

Karo returns to have a "self-centered smugness show-down" with Todd the Red Panda.
(a) I have no idea how such a contest works - that's Rick's problem.
(b) While this comment might belong under the Cast Off Characters thread, I'll add it here - I think Rick likes Todd and he'll be back.

I would be very surprised if Todd DIDN'T come back after the comic reboot begins again. I think he knows he can NEVER have too many characters susceptible to slapstick. :mrgreen:
