New In Town?

A sandwich shop handy to Techfox Studios, where TV stars can occasionally be seen grabbing a sandwich.

Businesses

A large corporation that bought out MegaHuge ConGloMaCo, only to be dissolved after being found mired in malfeasance and corruption.

MegaHuge ConGloMaCo

Starting out as a tiny distribution company working out of a garage, this company was forged into a large and impressive corporation by its founder and CEO, Oswald Proboscis. However, the board of directors eventually forced him out in order to sell to Amalgatronix, where even the mighty MegaHuge was “just another subsidiary.”

A film studio specializing is inexpensive films such as “chick flicks,” including A Girl and Her Dog.

O.P.E. (Oswald Proboscis Enterprises)

The company Oswald Proboscis founded to “start over” after being forced out of MegaHuge ConGloMaCo.

Techfox Studios

A TV studio that produces genre programs, including Kitten Kaboodle, Space Ranger.

Services

Interclinic

For the mixed-species couple who are not naturally interfertile, Interclinic provides the latest in genetic jiggery-pokery to make your dream of children come true. A wolf married to a rabbit? No problem. Furthermore, if you are a naturally infertile hybrid yourself (such as a mule), Interclinic can still use samples of your DNA to provide you with children. Naturally, this is an extremely expensive proposition, and we have quite a long waiting list.

Scratch & Sniff, Psychic Investigations

Catscratch Skunk (the “Scratch”) and an un-named partner (presumably the “Sniff”) who provide “psychic” or “paranormal” consultation services.

Squash & Stretch, Private Investigations

Stretch Ferret (the brains) and Squash Otter (the brawn) are a pair of classic gumshoes, right down to the trenchcoat, fedora, and wisecracks.
