Months back I got it in my head after seeing Tiny Toons replays on the Hub network that the characters (the show was pretty fast and loose and inconsistent with the age portrayals, seemingly anywhere from grade-school to college age depending on the episode) that the characters would be in their thirties or even forties nowadays. These files have been squatting in my tablet for the longest time without being posted, but after SLB posted this http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12101833/ , I'll already be assumed to be ripping him off regardless of when I drew these, so might as well post 'em.
Montana Max has always been a corporate greed business guy, so no reason to stop now. It's tough to see any future for Elmyra that doesn't involve an animal hoarding intervention TV show.
Good thing Furball and company are cartoons, or they would be dead by now. I just wanted to draw the incomparably awesome Byron Basset once in my life.

Looks like Elmyra is not only hording animals, she's stealing their fashion choices. I'm getting a serious Jeanette Chippette(1) vibe from that outfit.
Notes:
1) I know the chippettes have an official last name, since they were adopted my their caretaker, the same way the Chipmunks were legally Alvin, Simon, and Theodore Seville. I just don't remember the Chipettes surname right now, and I'm not sure if others would get the reference if I had used the surname instead of 'Chippette.'

That would be Miss Miller, an elderly lady with a love of music who adopts the Chippettes at Alvin's insistence. Miss Miller in the show was supposedly an homage to the real-life Mrs. Miller, a singer known for her "bad" performances. I place "bad" in parentheses, as she was deliberately singing half-a-beat ahead or behind and then they'd pick the worst version of the song for her recording.

Yup.
It was designed to be subtle, since the personalities weren't just copies of their 'mentors,' but the clues were all there: ELMer-ELMyra, Fudd-Duff, both wanting to 'collect' animals, one as trophies, the other as pets. Yosemetie-Montana, both likely to go on angry tirades, often with 'rassen frassen' in them.

AAAHH YES! Byron the "Amazing Amoeba Dog".. capable of going from upright to "a puddle" in 00.4 seconds or less.
Tiny toons went in ways that their predecessors couldn't , but at the same token, so did Pinky and the Brain as far as fabulously imaginative plots and such
I remember that back in the mid 90s, when slammers were introduced here in México and renamed as "tazos", a couple of years later they launched an edition with the Tiny Toons characters. Somehow, an urban legend became famous that Elmyra's tazos were actually cursed or haunted. Specifically, if you let your Elmyra tazos next to you after midnight, she would pop out of the tazo, go to you and kill you with her bare hands. Some kids fell for it, unsurprisingly.
Even some parents fell for it and started confiscating their kids' tazos and to bury them in the yard, toss them in the trash can or even burn them. Also unsurprisingly, priests and crazy members of the Church (no offense to religious people) were using that urban legend as a proof that tazos were satanic, therefore, parents should protect their children from them by not allowing them to buy Sabritas (Mexican Lay's) snacks. But well, there was never a single report about kids found dead next to an Elmyra tazo, so the rumor died as fast as it spreaded at first.
