The scene with Chief Flash and the broken air conditioner a few pages back was an homage to the movie In The Heat Of The Night, where Chief Gillespie (Rod Steiger) is confronted with a similar broken AC towards the beginning. Since Chief Flash is a cannine version of Gillespie, I figured such an homage would be apt. Also, the scene involving Tyrone not wanting to jump over the edge is a salute to my most favorite scene in Home Alone where Marv (Daniel Stern) says he isn’t going out the window after Kevin … only to get forced to anyway by his partner in crime Marv. The line “Are you a ‘fraidy cat?” is a deliberate gag on my part because it is being used by a cat, which I thought would be funny. And kudos to Ed for how cool Dingo looks using his sombrero as a parachute. -Rich
