In that case, we should just have it at the Milton's Manor then. I'm sure they're better prepared for Keene or Karishad related catastrophes . Plus Jeeves would be there to keep things under control.

Keene and Breel awake one morning to find Eudoant in their dining room. The Infernal wants their help finding, catching, and returning the li'l dino-demon to Pandemonium. For their help, four-ears promises to let bygones-be-bygones and even grant them a wish - but should they trust him? Who do they know with the powers to help them? What should they wish for?

Well if he is the Housepets! universe equivalent of anthro demon, I honestly wouldn't trust him as he could easily go and twist whatever they wish for around. I think Breel having been an angel in heaven for a while would advice Keene not to trust him but since Keene never listens, I don't know. Tarot and Sabrina might also warn Keene about trusting Eudoant also. As for what they would wish for, I don't think that Breel would trust Eudoant but it wouldn't matter whatever Keene would wish for because I'm sure he would find a way to suck the world into Pandemonium.

I of course mean where Breel and Keene were imprisoned. Not the B2K album from 2002.

Now this idea is swirling around in my head. I've been toying with a follow up to the fan fic I wrote, and I think I'd love to incorporate this idea into it somehow, but I'm going to wait until we see a bit more about Marion in the strip. Depending on where Rick takes us, this might not work at all.

Colleen and Karo emerge from their extended obscurity to challenge Bino and Duchess for control of the Good Ol' Dogs Club. Grape persuades Rex and Diasy to step as a third "party" candidates on a platform of membership for cats. Political campaign shenanigans run riot.

Then it is eventually seen that Rex and Daisy win but because they did something that was against the rules, they get disqualified and Duchess and Bino win by default and nothing changes as its all like it was before.

Duchess dumps Bino. Bino is comforted by Grape and Max, and in the process becomes closer to the two cats.

Cory, Cassie, Trinket and the Raccoons snooker Marion into getting them into the school cafeteria at night where assorted mischief ensues. However, unknown to the plotters, there's a new nightwatch on duty - Itsuki - and he proceeds to route them all out of the building.

There's someone else we haven't seen for a while - Itsuki.

We need a full arc of the less used characters. Itsuki gets lost in the woods, runs into Trinket who steers him off course, where they find Daisy doing scientific experiments on the water in the forest (it's her passion) until they run into Terrance who was sent as part of a police contingent trying to find them...

It is kind of sad that an arc featuring most of the B characters won't ever happen but it is sure fun to think of storylines for them!

Eudoant offers to manage Bino's return to power at the Good Ol' Dog's Club and truly win the heart of Duchess in exchange - of course - for his soul. Bino, however, so completely sabotages everything the Infernal tries to do that Eudoant becomes completely disgusted with him. In the end, Eudoant becomes so frustrated, she doesn't want Bino's soul and backs out of the bargain, leaving him still as master of the Club. However, in revenge, she causes Duchess to crush on Tiger - who is baffled and horrified at her attentions.

Later...
Bino: (thinking ) Well, I can't be the only one who has had their soul rejected by a demon. (notices Peanut and Max approaching, and chatting) Hah! I'll bet those losers didn't even get an offer on their souls.

Peanut: It's odd I've had four different offers on my soul this week.

Max: I've had five. They keep offering these lame deals, too. One offered me the exclusive attentions of Grape. Like I'd do that to her and you. Plus she'd pound me if she found out.

Peanut: One offered me fantastic art skills. Not worth my soul to be honest. Honestly, you'd have to be a fool to sell your soul to the devil or a demon. Haven't others read about Faust?

Max: Or the Devil and Tom Walker. Anyway for our double date, how about we order in some pizza and watch some movies? It's supposed to rain, so Heathcliff's will be no fun.

Peanut: That sounds like fun. I'll check with Tarot, and..

Bino: (Hearing everything) Augh! (Runs off)

Peanut: (noticing) What's with Bino?

Max: I've found it's better not to wonder too much about that.

Max gets Peanut out of the way of a car. Grape is impressed and snuggles with Max. Peanut on the other hand feels beholden to Max despite the latter’s assurances.

which leads to a convoluted max/peanut arc just to tie even more knots into the relationship mess that is that lot.

Like I said, somehow there will end up starting a polyamorous with Peanut/Grape/Tarot/Max and that would be a great way to make it begin.

Bino dreams that he dies and Cerberus comes to escort him to Heaven. However, Eudoant shows up and also lays claim to his soul. A three-way debate ensues, and Bino becomes so abrasive and obnoxious that Cerberus decides Eudoant has the stronger case. Condemned to Pandemonium, Bino bewails his fate with such annoying bathos, Eudoant decides to send him back to the world. Before waking him up, however, the demon deer warns him to change his ways or his return will meet a far more wretched welcome.

Bino awakes, rejoicing, resolved to be an exemplary canine saint … and Max and Marvin make short work of that resolution!

I would actually like to see an arc where all of his brothers and brother/cousins band together to convince Bino to dump Duchess since she is just a high-maintenance brat.

Ah but you see that's a contradiction. Pretty sure Kari's vaccinated against those.
So when people start coming down on him with contradiction he doesn't get any messy symptoms like causality, you know.

No, seriously, Karishad in the comic is based directly from the real life Karishad who Rick knows personally.

I have heard that before. Wasn't sure of it's factual value at the time. But I kinda have a friend like that too...
That may be why I like the character so much. But a comic can get away with breaking reality. Reality... can't so much. Unfortunately. So there must be a break between the two at least for that to happen. He's the sort of character who could get torn into little pieces, thrown into a fire, fall into the sun, and then come back with an "I got better" and few readers would bat an eye. No real person could really say the same. Besides, in the audience's mind there must be a distinction because they've never met the real person but they do know the character.
It's comparable, maybe, to the player's character in a video game. As much as Valve tried to make Half-Life into a self-insert from the player's perspective, they still needed something for the voice actors to call that person. So his name is Gordon Freeman, even though yours is (probably) not. And he is definitely a he, even though you might be a she. But maybe I'm arguing philosophy now. Maybe it's completely irrelevant. I'm too tired to sleep and I don't really know.

Kari also kinda reminds me of Sylvester McCoy at a Doctor Who convention -- I've been watching a few over the last couple days.

Maybe I will remove that little joke I made if he is in fact a real person though. 'cause I really don't mean any disrespect.
