Zoe loves to make drawings for people. She is constantly handing me her homemade cards and pictures and paintings. They almost always have “To: Mom, From: Zoe” written somewhere on them. Here is one she gave me the other day. It’s of the Mystery Inc. Gang.
It’s a good likeness, right? I mean, right down to Velma’s sweet orange knee highs. There are several things about this picture that I love:
1) Daphne is more “apple” shaped than Velma, which is refreshing. Velma was always getting the shaft, being the “brainy” one instead of the “hot” one. Velma’s even showing a little more leg than usual in this picture. You go, girl.
2) There is no denying the “stoned” look in Shaggy’s eyes… I mean, they actually look like groovy disco balls. After thirty-five years, there is no longer any question about why he always had the munchies. And it even looks like after several decades of this sort of bodily abuse, his metabolism is finally slowing down. I see an intervention in his future, and it may involve Dr. Drew.
3) Scooby looks surprisingly happy and excited about the current creepy mystery, instead of looking like a frightened pansy. And there aren’t even any Scooby-Snacks in sight! Way to grow a pair, Scoob.
4) Fred looks kind of tiny and wimpy, without a trace of barrel-chested manliness. In fact, it looks like Daphne could crush him with one large, puffy, orange hand. Maybe Daphne can save Fred this time around, because — honestly — I was really getting sick of his know-it-all, macho crap.
It’s the children of today who will continue fixing the crap we poorly threw together yesterday. Constantly making things better. And I’ll continue blogging it for posterity.

Looks like Velma is wearing hot pants and Daphne has put on a pound or two for sure.

Love this picture – great stuff.
And the Dr. Drew comment made me chuckle.
*sigh* memories

Your assessments are well-thought-out; I like that. And I *love* that it does, indeed, look like Daphne is going to squeeze the cockiness out of Fred.
Zoe rocks.

Cute picture. Funny post.

It would appear (now I am NOT saying for certain, mind!) but doesn’t it seem (maybe I’m wrong … what do you think) but could it be possible that Skooby has found Shaggy’s stash? (I mean, check out the way that Skooby is standing … something in the ‘body language’ says “Please walk this white line Sir.”

I love it that Fred is the smallest. He always got on my nerves.
Zoe is awesome.

I always thought Fred was kind of an ass. I totally would have hooked up with Shaggy.
