I think Scooby Doo as a franchise has under explored the potential of the late 60s and early 70s as a setting

[queer-as-city-folk]

I'm sorry but my conceptualization of Fred is directly tied to his dodging of the draft, and his gay autistic swag

[queer-as-city-folk]

Fred just wants to solve mysteries and maybe hook up with Shaggy a few times, he is a nice boy, and that's important because if the show takes place in the year it was made then he was almost certainly dodging the draft, which adds a level of depth to him as we know he's nice and that niceness gives him a motivation beyond mystery, he doesn't want to go to Vietnam and kill but he can't say he's gay because Stonewall hasn't happened yet

[queer-as-city-folk]

He's scared, he makes mistakes, he had to leave his family, and feels lucky that his only friends agreed to join him in his van as he went to Canada, like Scooby Doo as a show really only works if you consider this, why are they always in a new place? Because they are on the run. I think a lot of Fred fans like him because he's a kind hearted silly guy, but once you realize the implications of the draft, he becomes a much more fascinating character, one we will never actually see explored because WB would never make scooby political sadly

[queer-as-city-folk]

To me, Fred is the most important character in Scooby Doo, not the dog or Shaggy, because while they instigate the plots of the episodes and see the ghosts and ghouls, Fred is the one who tries to catch and reveal the monsters, he has a strong moral compass, he knows what these people are doing is wrong and so he risks being found by the police to help the communities he goes through by catching these monsters

[queer-as-city-folk]

And I think that this detail is where a lot of people misstep with scooby doo adaptations, they try to make it modern and they try to make it straight, which doesn't work because of the death of the hippies and the counterculture makes the cross country travel feel weird, and you get really awkward relationships between the characters when you make it straight because Shaggy shouldn't be dating Dalpne, neither should Fred, those are 2 gay men, and Velma and Shaggy definitely shouldn't date, look at how fucking awful they were in Mystery Inc, I think one of the best things in recent scooby had been the move to make Velma more openly a lesbian since it gives her depth and doesn't take away from her character in the way that the heterosexuality does for literally every character.

In 2004 Warner Bros launched a new Scooby-Doo merch/style line called "Scooby-Doo A Girl's Best Friend". This was a line that was supposed to make Scooby-Doo more appealing to young girls, with heart motifs, plenty of pink, and an emphasis on Fun, Creativity, and Friendship. I recently aquired an official style guide for this line; a book that was sent to potential licensed contractor companies detailing the general style, tone, artwork, and rules for making merchandise in this line. The book came with a cd-rom full of vectorized images for use in merchandise and the like!! And I've exported them for you!!

This is the character art for Scooby himself, the only mainline character to be featured in this line. You can see his collar is now a bright pink, and his shoulder spot has been made firmly into a heart. He's got a lineless style with and emphasis on curves and angles that form hearts. It almost makes me think of UPA cartoons, but that may just be me. Note: I exported all of these at the scale they were originally at, so theyre all around 200*300 pixels. If you'd like any in a larger size lmk and I can export it as such, theyre vectorized after all!!

(check the reblogs for more art from this line)

[tubapun]

Here are the "Design Elements" from this line, essentially stickers to be placed on journals, shirts, and the like. I exported all of these at double their disc dimensions, because 200*300 seemed tiny for this sort of thing. imo these are killer icons for scoob heads (that pink heart seems easy to make into a lesbian flag). You may notice theres some other animals there!! These are "Scooby's Friends" which I will be exporting now, so check the reblogs for them.

[tubapun]

Here's the Friends in this line. Looks like a dachshund, a poodle, a scottie, a cat, a bird, and a squirrel. Oddly no butterflies show up in this section of files, even though they're prevalent in the Design Elements. Notably these are also tiny, I exported them at their original sizes, all under 200*200 pixels. If you want a larger version lmk, like with scooby!!

[tubapun]

There's a section in the book for "patterns" but unfortunately when I load those files they only show up as black rectangles. I'm unsure if this is a file issue or an issue with thr program im using. The cd files are .eps files if anyone would like a chance to try and crack the code on that.

Also since I'm showing the book itself, it has images of potential merchandise AND a color code section, albeit one that's in cmyk given this is for printing stuff. But it might be useful if you want to draw in this style!!

[tubapun]

Until I can get the patterns to work this is the last of the art from this line that is on the disc!! It's basically just flowers and food, though now i know why the butterflies weren't in the "Friends" section. Cause they're under "Icons" here

[tubapun]

Thanks to @gorewound i was able to get the patterns working!!

I also went and re-rendered the design elements, both for size and missing textures. Check those out here

[toskarin]

/hj is the funniest earnest tonetag in the world even without the handjob joke because it's ostensibly meant to clarify tone for autistic people, but the tone it's clarifying is "unreadable level of ambiguous seriousness that requires social context beyond what text can convey /glhffgt"

So apparently another whole ass animated scooby doo movie was canceled, this time featuring Krypto the Superdog, but it leaked onto 4chan and was uploaded onto the internet archive

[jinxynuthead]
