How can this take place in the same universe as Rusty? Early in his series Rusty said Red was similar to his age with two badges and yet here; he has been a trainer for decades with children. I know rule of funny but still...
Rusty was in prison for a while and thus time went on, it is just hard to to tell because of the deliberately limited art style. It’s more than likely that Red grew into a successful adult while Rusty rotted in prison, before PB freed him and inadvertently killed Ralphie.
