This meeting did in fact occur on April Fools' Day, 2021 as the [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]] abducted Astro, stuffed him in a box, and mailed him to the Society's headquarters as a prank. Although the Doves were initially put off by Astro's variability, they eventually parted good friends, with him having taught the Doves about may new poetic forms they did not know. The Doves had a member of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] get him home in a [[Fog Ship]], taking a piece of cheese (secretly his favourite food) with him as a parting gift, and intending to visit him in turn someday.

[[File:Astro Pooch.png|thumb| | [[File:Astro Pooch.png|thumb|right|240px|The original Astro Pooch.]]Astro is a parody of [https://scrooge-mcduck.fandom.com/wiki/Astro_Pooch Astro Pooch], a character who appeared in a single largely-forgotten 1965 Disney comic strip which was revived [http://duckcomicsrevue.blogspot.com/2018/04/astro-pooch.html in 2018] as an April Fools' Day joke on the review blog ''Duck Comics Revue'' (by Geoffrey Moses), with an absurdist recurring joke throughout the gag-review of the strip's simplistic plot being retold through ever more improbable poetic forms. Regular commenters of the blog continued this meme in the comments, including [[Lupan Evezan]], who would go on to writer ''[[Multiversal Mischief (short story)|Multiversal Mischief]]''. | ||
