THE BONUS STORY ARC COMIC CONCLUDES. THE LAST PAGE IS … still here.
It’s the tail end of summer, and that brings to an end the ‘Car Wash Caper’ bonus comic! To see the very last page, head on over to TWC and vote for Puck!
VOTE TO WASH THAT CAR REAL GOOD!
As for this comic…
I think the observant reader will be able to tell where this is going. Now whether said observant reader thinks where this is going is a good idea, I have no clue.
But I think it’s a good idea. And let’s face it: you can’t stop me.
Scoobydoo, or Scooby DON’T.
That is the question…
Daphne had to be Fred, Colin clearly is Shaggy, Phoebe’s dad can be the villain, Phoebe as Velma and Robin as Daphne!
I forgot Scooby! That can be Papa, Miranda will be having a fun sleep over with Tracee.
Would he wear the Scooby suit over the Shnorf suit? Cuz I can’t see him taking the Shnorf suit off…
Really? Not even considering the dog-girl for the doggy role? Or for the other character already named Daphne?
Not that I’m saying the personalities match well at all (few do; it was a pretty upbeat show and most of EG’s characters are fairly cynical) but those other connections are worth noting.
Shakespeare would side with Puck here, I’m sure. 😉
I dunno. I think he’d be pro-nonsense.
Puck will go as Daphne.
Phoebe will go as Velma.
Daphne will go as Scooby.
Colin as Shaggy.
Who will be Fred?
Tyler safe bet. though that option you could always ask a favor from hotdog guy, or phoebe could ask a favor of daddy and recruit Sigmund into the shenanigans granted it might be a bit dull.
Probably Tyler. That’s a very safe bet.
Tyler’s way cooling than any of these other guys. He’s the only possible Fred.
You forgot one.
Daphne as Scooby-Doo is a given.
But two characters have been overlooked.
Miranda as Scrappy-Doo.
I would have said Colin as Fred, but I don’t know who would be Shaggy.
Ooooh, I can’t spoil it!
I can’t spoil it.
I can’t see Daphne acquiescing to cosplay as Scooby Doo AT ALL without there being something HUGE that she will get in return. Despite the life lesson she has already learned, Daphne is still very much about the self-interest. Yet still, there’s a lot of potential humiliation for someone with her personality to be seen among people as a language-challenged comic relief Great Dane.
Daphne is a mercenary, though. I think she would agree to do many things if paid – as long as she was free to scowl while doing so.
Daph: 12.50 a hour plus 45 minute lunch and 10 minute scowl break every 3 hours, and for the next week if i say “i don’t know him” were strangers first hour upfront. i expect this in writing
Exactly.
Papa Schnorf. He already has a “Mystery Machine” van…
So many mysteries in that van…
You realize that means Miranda would have to come along…
as SCRAPPY
For once, Scrappy would be adorable, and welcomed.
Glad you feel that way. I feel the same.
The horror. THE HORROR!
Ugh. You beat me to it.
Puh, puh, puh, joepesci power.
Well, let me figure this out. Everyone here should be either three or four degrees of Kevin Bacon from the original voice of Scooby-Doo. Two if you’d settle for one of the movie voice actors.
Mmm. Degrees of bacon always sounds delicious.
It was fun working with him on the radio.
You WORKED WITH HIM ON THE RADIO?!?!?!?
Who? Frank Welker or Kevin Bacon?
And he would have gotten away with it, if it hadn’t been for those rotten kids!
It’s Old Man Withersbee from the amusement park!
Ripping off the mask will reveal Cindi Lauper!
Why did she do it you might ask?
Because Girls just want to have fun!
The thing with Daphne as Scooby is that it’s such a big reference to her semi canine nature, which appears rarely in the comic. It’s like having Puck cosplay as Puck or Daphne cosplay as the demonic Elizabeth Taylor. I’m not saying that’s can’t be how the script rolls, but I’d be not at all surprised if it went in a different direction.
If Ty comes along, then he and Colin get the male roles, Daphne and Phoebe get the female roles, leaving Puck to play Scooby-Doo for maximum humiliation. IRL I would suggest she dress as a stagehand carrying Miranda is the cutest Scooby-Doo ever.
Sometimes this comic goes against the grain. Other times it goes exactly where the grain wants it to go…
Miranda is more the size of Scrappy-doo. 😉
Observant…
OMG Miranda as Scrappy Doo would be so sweet.
I’d better get the insulin, and I’m not even diabetic.
I for one approve of the scooby doo cosplay idea. Here’s my take on the cast:
Puck as scooby (she wants no part of the cosplay but is coerced into being scooby. Alternatively, shes daphne to go with Colin)
Colin as Fred
Pheobe as Daphne
Daphne as Velma (with the snarky attitude we see Velma have in like live action scooby doo. Or that new movie)
We will see how right you will be!
What we learned, is Colin also likes being murdered. Makes sense. He’s with Puck. Daphne’s turn today though!
The dark side of The Puer is strong in Colin, and here’s the proof.
Everything is always a Star Wars ref. Always.
There’s a meme for every porpoise under heaven.
Apparently….
I’ve seen that look in many womens eyes to know Puck’s going to hold a grudge with Colin for not already knowing what some of her interests are.
Well, to be fair, that look in Puck’s eyes never really goes away. That’s kinda just her face.
Resting Vengeance Face.
It’s her thing.
I LOLed
Thanks 🙂
I hope Scooby-Dum is there. Poor guy gets overlooked constantly. Even Scrappy-Doo gets more love, and people profess to hate Scrappy.
Scooby-Dum has been scrubbed from the collective conscience along with a number of other ‘slow’ cartoon characters. He’s in the same dumpster as Slowpoke Rodriguez, mentally challenged cousin of Speedy Gonzales.
Slowpoke Rodriguez may have talked and moved slowly, but to quote Slowpoke himself, he was “fast upstairs in the cabeza”. (Slowpoke has likely disappeared because one of his main ways of fighting back was using a gun.)
Whoa. We got a Slowpoke Rodriguez expert in the house!
“No great genius is without an admixture of madness.” – Aristotle
And Aristotle was almost certainly thinking of Colin when he said that.
I know very little about Scoobydoo except he is an extremely annoying canine. Clearly, this will be the best chapter yet! :))
Clearly.
looks like you have some homework to do!
Casting suggestions for the cosplay:
Colin: Shaggy (Fred is always clean-shaven)
Daphne: Scobby Doo (“After all that good stuff I got you, you are giving me this to wear?!”)
Tyler: Fred (like Johnny Storm in the Fant4stic Four movie)
Phoebe: The villain of the week, the Demoness (but that “mask” does not really come off).
Robin: Daphne
Miranda: Scrappy Doo
Oh, I forgot one:
Hannah: Velma (blind without her glasses, mind you Hannah is blind even with them).
Good call.
No Velma?
A man of strong entusiasms. Puck’s in there some place. I’m sure.
Miranda’s going to have a lot of fun.
EVERYONE will have fun. Or no one will have fun. Not really sure yet.
I suppose it depends on how annoyed Puck is. The last time she went out . . . it did not go well.
The great unpondered questions of the Scooby-Doo ‘verse: Why is there so much abandoned land? And why are there so many unemployed individuals with genius-level intellects or savants in engineering, chemistry, robotics and practical special effects?
Also.. do the Harlem Globetrotters have a teleporter or something? they’ve crossed paths with the Gang a lot.
Ok, also.. will the Globetrotters be making a special appearance at the convention? That’s a deal-breaker.
Man, I miss the Harlem Globetrotters. They were EVERYWHERE when I was a kid.
Two things: My daughter would love Scooby Con, and I just got my puck T-Shirt in the mail. It looks awesome
I was wondering who ordered a shirt. You now are in a very exclusive club of three. One other fan, me and you have that shirt. No one else in the world.
I still think it looks great.
No Puck shirt for me, but I DO have a Phoebe and a Howlers shirt! I’m actually thinking of getting a second howlers shirt!
Honestly, I think that makes you the ONLY person in the world to own a Howlers shirt. And that’s at one shirt. If you owned two, you would be … the only person in the world to own two.
Um . . . Colin is the common-law husband of an immortal fairy and father of her child . . . I’d say the question of his sanity has been answered years ago . . .
Yep. Official diagnosis:
CRAZY LIKE A FOX!
There will be many repeat character cosplays at a Scooby Con. This means that the Puck characters are not locked into only four choices. Fashionable Phoebe may be traumatized by having to play drab Velma. Other options include original and modern styled dress for Daphne, Velma and Fred. Phoebe might look interesting as modern Daphne, with red hair. There is also the obvious connection for Phoebe to play Scooby Doo, because of the tail, but that would be cruel!
Considering how rarely Frank Welker goes to conventions as a guest, it’d be insanity not to go
Yeah, this is really just wishful thinking on my part. The dude is just too damn busy to make it to cons. But if he did, I’d be there.
I looked at his filmography. Him and Mel Blanc.
Pretty much. No one on IMDB has more credits than those two.
I don’t know if anyone could. Do/did they just sleep in recording studios?
Well, when you’re a voice actor, you can feasibly crank out a major movie role in an afternoon. And Welker’s biggest toolbox is his ability to make convincing animal sounds, which means he gets a credit for playing the dog or the rat or the gorilla in many movies, and the role took him about ten minutes to record, tops. Seriously, check the credits of practically any movie with an animal in it made over the past fifty years and Frank Welker is providing the noises for it.

You kind of wonder how much of that was . . . recycled?
Perhaps? Not sure. There’s certainly enough b-roll of Frank Welker growling and snarling to fill a thousand animals movies. But he is a hard-working dude and I prefer to believe every movie is a fresh recording. Besides, many of the animal roles require rather unique sounds. Like, say, the scorpion from ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’. Which (of course) was done by Frank Welker. I mean, seeing as scorpions are functionally silent, the role required him to get creative.
I don’t know, maybe Daphne could be induced (reduced?) into cosplaying Scooby Doo… FOR A SUFFICIENT FEE. 😉
Exactly.
Depending on which Scooby-Doo you Doo 😀 The cast of Puck could also meet Buffy and Freddie Prinze Jr. 🙂
Well, I’m excited.
Y’know…down here in Florida, somebody painted their van in Scooby-Doo colors and put his business name up where their name was. First I heard of it, a few weeks ago, was quite startling, having the Mystery Machine drive up next to me in traffic…
That is awesome. Talk about marketing!
Haven’t got a picture, but, apparently, you can buy a car wrap and make your own Mystery Machine.
Such a thing may or may not play a part in this story arc.
