Ralston though would work much cheaper than say Bugs Bunny

Within the context of this strip, Ralston’s probably the most steadily employed and financially solvent of the regular characters (after Captain V.). He’s got a lucrative cereal-endorsement deal, for one thing. He probably doesn’t want a Doonesbury gig for the money, but to associate himself with more adult, sophisticated material. He probably would work cheaper than Bugs, but it’s more likely a case of him willing to work for scale in exchange for the prestige, like big Hollywood stars cutting their fees to work with Woody Allen.

Scooby Doo will probably get the Zonker role.
