A day at the zoo 9
Our winning picks from “a day at the zoo 8”: “Two cats sleeping comfortably on top and several very angry cats desperately hanging on to the side of the mountain and a zoo patron in cat ears with a little grabber putting more cats onto the mountain”
So now, suggest in the comments below what you think should be happening in the spot labeled above. It can be as much or as little as you want, it can feature guests, animals, additional scenery, whatever.
Then I’ll pick some of my favorite comments along with the top comments (based on likes), and will have members of the Interactive Comics tier vote on which one of those suggestions should be picked and officially added to the illustration.
And we’re gonna keep doing this until the whole ass picture is jam ass full (of ass). Make sense? Still no?? OK LETS GO

Recently divorced dads, caught in the wild and trying to be rehabilitated. Some of the dads are drinking craft beer. Others are playing cornhole. Some are practicing their putting. There should be a sign that says “do not make direct eye contact with divorced dads” and by the sign, one divorced dad is trying to flirt with a lady in the audience.
A bunch of ferrets dressed in Roman garbs having gladitorial battle. One just got decapitated, while the Ceasar ferret is looking at his hand, realizing it can't give thumbs up or down because it doesn't have thumbs. Some onlookers and a child on a man's shoulder is holding daddy's eyes closed to protect him from the sight. And to keep watching.
A bunch of lions, but one of them is just a guy in a lion suit, who is being hunted by the zoo's swat team
The zookeepers doing the Broadway version of The Lion King but Rafiki is a real mandrill.
A display name on the top declaring “The Butlerian (Judith) Jihad is here”. In the pit are gallows for the regularly scheduled public executions of tech billionaires which have brought out a large crowd of people pelting the day’s condemned with gunk from buckets labelled “AI slop”
A bunch of mice carrying off a bound and gagged elephant
A bear is carefully backing a truck up into the cave while his cubs ride bikes in the front and his bear husband is grilling up a bunch of salmon for dinner.
Damn this is good
Since the zoo has some free space, a bunch of college frat roommates are living in what's the most affordable place to live, a cave! Also there's a rhino living in there so they use the horn for ring toss while cracking a few beers
A disgruntled elephant with a shovel in their trunk, shoving excrement beside a suspiciously pantless human.
Merrcats running a pizzaria out of the cave entrance with other zoo animals and patrons on dates at tables next to the wall
Pennywise the clown is in the cave, trying to tempt some lions in.
Those feral British kids from The Lord of the Flies (Extra-British edition).
Noah trying to convince the animals to come to his ark instead of the zoo. He does not realize he is an exhibit in the zoo.
Enormous steel marbles, some in the cave. 2 large wooden knobs set into the stone wall are being turned by 2 nervous zoo employees, arguing over strategy.
Dog & pigs three ring circus
Cheese. Just cheese. So much cheese.
ruled over by a rat king
Giraffes with necks so long they're trailing off screen or snaking around everything eating plants from other areas
The Coyote (from Roadrunner) teaching a class of little coyotes how to paint tunnels on walls.
Gladiators. Definitely gladiators.
Miniature Jesus coming out of the tomb/cave to a pack of hungry lions
A swarm of bats. Also Batman coming out in his batmobile
Well it's a cave, so cavemen. A nice little caveman fire, some caveman s'mores, a fun caveman campfire song or two (caveman acoustic guitar, of course,) and maybe some caveman mountain pies or caveman weiners roasting on caveman sticks. A caveman dog or 2 could be playing around.
Leopards live in the cave and a ferocious alpaca has gotten into the leopard enclosure to feast on leopards and a bunch of zoo employees from their alpaca containment unit trying desperately to end the carnage. A Muldoon-like character is screaming "tase her! Taaaaaase her!"
Animatronic chimpanzees. You see the real ones escape with “not sketchy” trench coat and glasses
A group of raccoons having a dance party
Chimpanzees arming a catapult filled with their poop, and one of the chimps has binoculars looking for their next target.
Two people in off brand scar and mufasa costumes doing that one scene
A guy sitting alone eating chips while people photograph him and the news is there
