Wishbone is gonna come live with the Fraggles right? What could possibly go wrong

Okay first, NOSTALGIA. Second, looked up some fictional storytellers, and found another possibility! That'd be Mr. Mulliner, who certainly fits the "this reminds me of a story" description with Wishbone. And something about the juxtaposition of a PBS kids show dog with a pub crawler whose fellow patrons are only known by other drinks just tickles me? A quirk could be calling people by dog food/treats! ...Okay maybe that's a silly idea, but anyway.

Failing that, Homer miiiiight have appeared in enough fiction to count...? It might be a "run it by the mods" situation first, though.
