👻 Not surprisingly, I based this drawing of Shaggy on an Iwao Takamoto drawing, but in the actual drawing I found online, Shaggy was without his whiskers. Every time I draw or sketch him, I remind myself “Never draw Shaggy without his whiskers. Always put whiskers on Shaggy”. ZOINKS!!
What's new, Scooby-Doo? For this month's horror adjacent movie, your deadicated hosts investigate SCOOBY-DOO ON ZOMBIE ISLAND (1998) from director Jim Stenstrum!
Topics covered include: The origins of Hanna-Barbera, why his name is Scooby-Doo, and where Sarah's longheld fear of zombies originates!
During the episode, Ben references an article from Chris Sims on Scooby-Doo and secular humanism, which you can read here: comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-81-sc…cular-humanism/
Yesterday, I got to go to my very first Comic-Con! One of the best places I've ever been to! Out of all the guests there, I was only interested in talking to 4 guys. Keone Young, Scott Innes, and Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden (that's right. I actually got a chance to talk to Goofy and Max), respectively. First, I met Mr. Keone and got to show him my two pictures of the headcannon sisters (with and without their makeup) of one of the characters he's voiced.
And not only did he think they were both cute, but I think he also liked the idea of Numbuh 3's dad having twin sisters.
The picture with Kiki and Makiko having their Geisha makeup on was given to Mr. Keone after I signed it with my username while he got to sign my picture with The Sanban twins having their makeup on. And even though I also got another autograph of him featuring Kaz, I still have yet to watch Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi (plus, I edited my name out since I still want to remain anonymous here).
After that, I talked with Mr. Scott about how I was desperate for a Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry crossover to be brought to life; and he actually said he would've liked to have seen that instead of the Scooby Doo crossover with Courage the Cowardly Dog.
The last thing I did was going to see my first panel with Bill Farmer and Jason Marsden (respectively of course) and asking a few question to them (would you believe that even after all these years, they never thought of who Goofy's Wife and Max's Mom could be or could've been?).
I'd really like another chance in going to another Comic-Con.

The mario news has me thinking, Frank Welker is 77 years old and he's been doing Fred since 1969 and Scooby since 2002. If he were to retire or no longer be able to be in those roles, who would replace him?
Scooby has a back-up voice in Scott Innes (although I don't know how willing he'd be to return full time) but Fred has always been Frank Welker. Sure Zac Efron hopped in for Scoob!, but would he be willing/able to do that role outside of a big budget theater movie?
I'd love it if Frank could be those voices forever, but man is (afaik) mortal, so has he trained anyone to follow in his voice steps?
#OTD in 1938 – Death of Tom Crean, Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer, from Co Kerry.
The reasons why history has been unkind to Crean are twofold: first, the politics of post-independence Ireland; and second, what George Bernard Shaw described as the greatest of evils and worst of crimes — poverty.
Tom Crean was an Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer from Annascaul, Co Kerry. He was a member of three major expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration.…
In 1966 and the early weeks of 1967, the Collinsport Inn was an important place on Dark Shadows. The restaurant there, presided over by Maggie Evans (Kathryn Leigh Scott,) The Nicest Girl in Town, was a place where people could meet each other unexpectedly and characters new to town could be introduced. Dashing action hero Burke Devlin (Mitch Ryan) lived in a suite at the inn, and the place often…
