I dropped the ball last year (thanks again to GeekSeven for filling in), but I'm back this year with another Scooby-Doo / Super-Daphne story. Loosely based on an episode from the original series. Illustrations by TGK.

I loved it! I really felt like I was hearing the words of the Mystery Inc gang - nicely updated for 2014. I had no idea there was a Super Daphne continuity....

Thanks. My wife -- who's the real Scooby-Doo fan -- suggested a few tweaks to make the characters speak more like their cartoon counterparts, so she deserves some of the credit for that.

My other Super Daphne stories -- "Zombies in the Endzone" (2011) and "Charter Fright" (2012) -- are in the Library. Now that there are three of them, maybe they qualify for the Series Library?

TGK draws a great Scooby-Doo, don't you think?

You also get the setting right. This does a good job of feeling like a circus story as scooby doo would do it. Just the right amount of mood athmosphere, and 70s hippie freak for 5 year olds. Good stuff.

"Charter Fright" is a great tribute to the Twilight Zone also.

My favorite line from that Twilight Zone episode:

William Shatner takes a seat on the airplane and starts to light a cigarette to calm his nerves.

"Don't smoke that now," says his wife. "Wait till the plane takes off."

Or the fact that Rod Serling couldn't bring himself to not smoke even for the 10-odd minutes it must have taken to shoot his opening bumper segments.

I hope that the shops in Croydon, London, UK (Forbidden Planet and Place in Space) get to know about Halloween Comic Fest by next year, they didn't know about it this year, even though Forbidden Planet was online for it. :huh: Anyway, it is Free Comic Book day next, on the first Saturday in May. :cheer:

I have a suspicion that someone read Argo's stories and took a page out of them
