I don’t remember where this image came from, but I feel it needs to be brought back into circulation as important Scooby-Doo lore

I just saw a trailer for Velma and I gotta say, capitalism is truly the end of innovation. The ONLY reason that show has the Scooby gang is because they're recognizable. Every character is completely different than their original. If they made the exact same show without changing anything except the characters it wouldn't change a single thing about it. The connection to Scooby Doo starts and ends with the characters and even then they changed everything about them but their name and basic designs. They're using popular characters to gain viewers while shitting all over the characters themselves. I'm just so tired of every popular piece of media being perverted and twisted just because of brand recognition. MAKE NEW CHARACTERS!!! YOU ALREADY BASICALLY DID JUST CHANGE THEIR NAME AND CLOTHES AND NO ONE WOULD EVEN KNOW THEYRE FROM SCOOBY DOO BECAUSE THEIR NAME AND CLOTHES ARE THE ONLY THING THEY KEPT!

Decided I wanted to redesign the Mystery Inc gang so why not start with the easiest to redesign? Velma! Well easy in the sense she tends to hardly change. Nevertheless hoping to do the rest of the gang eventually! Who would you want to see next?
For my made up world for this reboot series, I imagine Velma is still that super intelligent brainiac she tends to be but I’d also imagine she’s sassy and witty (like the mystery incorporated reboot). I also imagine before joining the gang she is best friends with Marcie (from the Mystery Incorporated series again) and the two were inseparable until Velma went off to solve mysteries. Also for this reboot series idea I imagine they all probably attend college (Coolsville University I suppose?) so the gang would be somewhere between their 18s-early 20s!

The Problem with “Velma”
My issue with *Velma* is how they’ve managed to take a group of likeable mystery-solvers and a hilarious talking dog and turn them into despicable caricatures of themselves and replaced the dog with overly sexual jokes as their attempt of humor (which is even worse when you consider so many of the sexual jokes and nudity happen with minors, teens, AKA children!). It’s one thing to reimagine their race... but this reimagination lacks real connection to their main characteristics that make them Velma, Shaggy, Fred, and Daphne.
1. Velma isn’t an underdog; Velma is a cynical bitch.
2. Fred isn’t a himbo leader; he’s a stupid privileged white boy who seems to have a toxic masculinity enough to make it difficult for him to redeem himself during the series
3. Daphne isn’t an accidental support; she’s a mean popular girl who ditched her childhood friend and started treating her like crap.
4. Shaggy is no longer a cowardly foodie with the munchies; he’s a romantic interest for the dislikable protagonist and the opposite of everything he used to implicitly be.
5. Scooby is nowhere to be seen.

Happy Halloween... month! In celebration of Spooky season... and partly because the regular strip this month is about our concertgoing experiences, I decided to make the EXTRA, full-color, single-panel Halloween-themed gags! This one, obviously, an homage to Scooby Doo! BOO!
