Title Text: oh you want the STEERING WHEEL club?

Well, that's one way to keep the plot rolling.

I'm surprised that Ralph even tries to do any kind of policing in Babylon Gardens. Don't the Milton's like own the police station by now?

Okay, who else immediately thought of this

Move this truck or I’ll stop it,
take it away before I lock it.
You’re blocking a street no-one’s using…
you say it’s Keene I should be schmoozing?
You know, one day I may relent
when Kevin learns the right implement
and when to use the right club
to avoid an insurance hubbub.
I’m in charge and I’ll end the fun;
the day of Ralph has now begun.
I’ll set these lawbreakers on the right path…
Oh, come on you guys! Out of the bath!

Ralph, come on, you looked the other way when 5 finger discount was being suspicious and you guys wanted to buy something, don’t stop the fan service before it can even start... which is especially annoying as it means the K-9 unit won’t be going in, and they have some of the characters I want to see most

Why did they just park it in the middle of the road, rather than off to the side?

If someone says "there is no way this is legal" that means it's completely legal.

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless of if they have the executive branch under their thumb, they still have the judicial.

Thanks for the reminders for why I don't like Keene.

I'm still think that Keene has more pull than Ralph wants to admit.

I'm going to bet that both Ralph and Kevin will end up in one of the baths by the end of the chapter. If you can't impound 'em, join 'em.

Yeah, and while I’m not saying I don’t want to see them... I kinda am hoping we see Mungo and Fox, Mungo for the obvious, and Fox because I have gained major respect for the pup after that comic involving his two girlfriends in heaven. I can’t believe Rick put that in even now

He may not. Not only is he always on duty but there's a Female Feline in there...

Wait, they are just the K-9. Have they even the permission to act against traffic-violations of humans?

Keene is a "pet" so the human is "working" for the pet... so it may stay in their line of work. But the lines are not clear to me... especially when looking at the very first few strips .P

That’s Ralph, you’re thinking of Fido I think

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:16 am

Oh, Fido would dive right in with THAT Female Feline! Ralph, however, would probably see a Lady (even if it is a Cat. I don't know how he feels about Felines)

Gameb18oy · Post by **Gameb18oy** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:33 am

You think Kevin and Sasha will finally get some on panel interactions? If there is gonna be some fan service, I do hope Rick remembers to reinforce the canon relationships before he gives some panels that awknowledge the ships he knows of

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 8:54 am

... A Female Feline with a Friend on the Force no less. While Sarge has stated that Fido's relationship with Sabrina is no problem, officially or unofficially, I've always suspected he might be a bit prudish. Let's see if Fox and Terrance show up, too, for more complications.

Sidebar: an interesting yarn to be spun is having a female ... or a cat ... or a female cat apply to join the K9 Force.

While it was also clearly made to be non-canon, Max actually has been drawn in the K9 outfit before, and honestly it be interesting to see the most well known nip-head of the cats join the force when we clearly know what he’s gonna use his salary (do the K-9 unit members get paid? I assume they do but don’t know) to try and get. Heck, always gonna be in favor of anything that allows Max to be a character when Grape isn’t around.

Clearly was referring to Sabrina, but honestly... Grape as a cop honestly feels bizarrely fitting. She did rescue two kidnapping victims as far back as when she was a kitten. Maybe she could finally get a nap without Peanut coming to wake her up if she told him she was going over police work over at the precinct

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 10:07 am

Sabrina's not... always a fan of violence. Sometimes, yes, but she'd not be allowed to be on the same unit as Fido. They frown on members of the unit dating. Plus I think Grape would enjoy the ~~viol...~~ work.

Wonder who she'd get partnered with... Pete almighty, can you imagine her and Fox having a reason to hang out in the comics because of this? Gah! This great idea is frustrating because as awesome as it could be, it likely will never happen. Definitely would be awhile before Rick could set it up even if he did consider it... And dang it, another great part of that idea came up in my head! A cat on the team would be something interesting to see Fido react to, especially considering the cat in question is technically an ex of Sabrina's

Of course, all the reasons I brought up wouldn't change much with Max... We need a Fe-9 unit, even if its just a single arc, we need it

You know it’s honestly surprising how little Zootopia comes up on this forum, anthromorphic animals aren’t the only similarities I feel I could find between the two worlds

NHWestoN · Post by **NHWestoN** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 1:56 pm

Actually, a Grape-Fox reunion could be interesting, given the directions in which both personalities have evolved. To your Zootopia point, despite the enormous enthusiasm that greeted the movie, it seemed to fade rather quickly even in Disney venues. Just "Let it Go", I guess. Frankly, it's one of my very favorite movies...…..

Anyone else concerned that we have yet another speech bubble blocking the human's head. I thought we were past this.

This is yet another moment where the K-9 unit is called for something that is beyond their jurisdiction. First Mungo was called for a fire and now the K-9 for whatever this is. I guess there could be two reasons for this. One they just happen upon the spa while patrolling? or they are with a human officer and that officer is just off screen, probably enjoying the heater in the car. That would explain why they have a Club in the first place. I feel like at this point whenever the station gets called for something involving Babylon Gardens they just send the K-9 no matter what the situation is.

Police Dispatcher: 9-1-1, please state your emergency.
Caller: There is a spa blocking my street.
Police Dispatcher:...I'm sorry can you repeat that?
Caller: There is an entire spa on the back of an eighteen wheeler parked in the middle of the road.
Police Dispatcher: What street is this?
Caller: Its *static* in Babylon Gardens.
Police Dispatcher: Did you say Babylon Gardens.
Caller: Yeah.
Police Dispatcher: *sigh* Okay, we'll send someone right on it.
Police Dispatcher: We have a Code Keene. Will the K-9 unit please respond?

Cesco · Post by **Cesco** » Mon Nov 26, 2018 2:09 pm

Well, leave that big building on the street isn't good, it's obvious to don't block the traffic.

Isn't there any space around? The police must remove it as soon as possible, then, but Kevin isn't helping...

Ok, Ralph will talk with Keene, but there won't be much to say, I guess. The entire thing must disappear from there...

There's also an OC named Clementia, a female cat in the K9 force, in Valerio's Housepets Series fanfic which I feel need more love.

I don’t think Rick would take fanfic characters, he wouldn’t be able to write them exactly like their characters + I think we’d prefer seeing characters already established in the comic for the most part
