** A lot of animal facts pop up in "Field Day" and "#Sheepfacts", like the fact that hoofed animals like Remmy need special help gripping things due to the particular shape of their fingers, sheep have a 300 degree field of vision, aardwolves are technically felines, and hyenas can digest bones.

* FantasticSlur: As Pack Street is fairly rough territory by Zootopia standards, more than a few of these pop up during the course of the series.
** "Wannabite" -- a coarse, but not necessarily unfriendly, nickname for a prey animal who enjoys eating meat. Remmy's status as such is established in the first story, which is even named after it.
** "Predophile" -- a mocking nickname for a prey animal who is sexually interested in predators. The female preds of the apartment enjoy teasing Remmy that he is into them, and although he denies it, the narration makes it pretty obvious that they're on-track with the claim.
** "Hoofer" -- an ungulate.

** "Power Forward" reminds us that even as a short, hornless ram, Remmy is literally built for butting things with his head when he manages to ram a punching bag twice his size with such force that Avo, who's holding it on the other side, staggers away and falls to the ground gasping for breath like she just got one hell of a gut-punch.

* MoralMyopia: Zigzagged. None of the predators ever really openly acknowledge their own faults in making Remmy feel an outcast, other than a few token comments in a backhanded way. However, once Remmy does apologize for the legitimately wrong things he said to Al, they do open up to him a lot more.

* PoorCommunicationKills: A huge part of the problem between Remmy and his neighbors is that neither side is really open to communicating with each other. In particular, the predators make a lot of assumptions about Remmy understanding their pack culture and deliberately refusing to play along. This comes to a boil in "Fall Back", where Remmy finally gets sick of his neighbors just assuming he understands everything they say or do and letting them having for this attitude. Unfortunately for everyone, he gets a little ''too'' heated in his complaints.

->''Sheep don't eat meat.''

''Pack Street'' is a series of ''Disney/{{Zootopia}}'' fan comics and stories by Creator/TheWeaver.

You know Zootopia? A ShiningCity of interspecies cooperation in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, where "anyone can be anything"? Well, there's a WrongSideOfTheTracks there, too, and if you didn't already know there were [[FantasticRacism predator/prey tensions]], that's where you'll find out.

Enter Remmy Cormo, our protagonist, a mostly mild-mannered sheep with an open mind but his own preconceived notions and ignorance about other species. After renting in the only affordable area he could, he has to adjust to the cast of eccentric and varied characters that call the area home, and vice versa. Maybe he can learn something along the way, assuming he doesn't put his hoof in his mouth too badly before then...

The setting is ongoing, and has attracted some attention from artists such as Adam Bryce Thomas, best known for ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog''.

!!Examples:

* AccidentalPervert: This happens to Remmy more than once, and sometimes it's not quite so innocent.
* TheCaper: In the chapter aptly titled, "The Heist", Charlie ropes Remmy and Wolter into helping her "liberate" a batch of medical-grade drugs/pheromones.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Remmy tends to come across as this more often than not, often without even realizing he's being a jerk. To his credit, he always attempts to make amends.
* LoveableSexManiac: While most of the crew has their moments, Anneke and Wolter qualify the most. Their only standard seems to be that they won't sleep with the underage.
