Well I have had this theory about how Shaggy and Scooby ending up with the gang.
However I doubt the CN would like my theory.
Shag is one of those guys who started reading philosophy early in life and seeing things that other kids didn’t. Soon he discovered the corruption of corporate world and decided that the better way to spend life was through immediate gratification. He bought the only vehicle he could afford a VW microbus and started out on a quest for the ultimate sandwich. Why on the quest for the ultimate sandwich. Because he needed a way to cure the munchies,
Shaggy as it is much speculated is a chronic, chronic user. Yup that’s right I said it Shaggy is into the 420, the grass, the weed, the ganja, the reefer madness, etc. Little know as well is that Scooby Snacks are cannabis laced as well and that Shaggy created the recipe and despite his distrust of the corporate world he is the primary share holder of the Scooby Snack and thus affords him to be a free spirit and give generously to charitable organization and later to fight the greed of others once Mystery Inc is founded.
In his travels questing for the ultimate munchies curbing combination of sandwich ingredients Shaggy wakes up one day and a puppy is in the van with him. Shaggy accepts the dog as a fate saying he needs to learn some compassion for others and some responsibility beyond himself. Shag does not name the puppy right away but finds that the dog is much like him. Eventually he decided to name the dog Scooby and as the primary share holder of the Scooby Snacks he makes Scooby the mascot for the snack.
While traveling around Shaggy begins talking with Scooby just to pass the time. One day he is driving near a college and Scooby says, OK Raggy. Shaggy utters, “Zoinks”
Shaggy takes Scooby into the science building, where he find the only person there is the every studious Velma. Because it’s a Saturday and the college is playing someone in football.
Shaggy explains that he thinks his dog Scooby can talk.
Velma does not believe this then Scooby says, Scooby doobie doo, and she utters, “Jinxies”
Velma runs some tests which ultimately cause her to be late in meeting up with her friend Daphne for a study session after the game.
Daphne knows she isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed but she is no dummy either and knows the best way to improve is to find the best and learn from them so she hired Velma to be her tutor.
Daphne is accustomed to Velma being late because she is caught up in some experiment or volume of text. Daphne goes looking for Velma in the science building. She finds that she is testing Scooby for language skills.
Daphne finds this to be fascinating as well.
Over the next few weeks the four them are hanging out all of the time.
Daphne is despite the glam a trained racecar drive and fine auto mechanic she is also a shop-a-holic
Freddie is the sales clerk in clothing store.
Also much speculated is Freddy being homosexual. I’m not saying he is or isn’t but … I think the ascot if not worn with a military uniform screams I have way too much fashion time on my hands.
So Velma and Daphne let it slip while they are shopping that Scooby can talk. Freddy decides that he must see the talking dog and follows them back to Shaggy’s van. Once Freddy sees and hears the dog can talk he is always around .
Then later in the year near the campus there is an increasing frequency of reports of ghost sightings. Velma wants to check it out and persuades the rest of then rag tag gang to go with her. In the investigation of the ghost stories they find that the haunting stories are all part of a land grab scheme plotted out by a greedy slum lord who owns most of the college rental property. Who once caught utters the phrase, “I would have gotten away with it if wasn’t for those meddling kids.”
Which gives Shaggy the idea to begin Mystery Inc. and the van is given a psychedelic paint job and the nick name the Mystery Machine. Which is all funded by the revenues made from the Scooby Snack profits.
The final remaining question is why is Freddy always driving the van .
Well simple Scooby is a dog who can also drive but this leads to a lot of tickets. Shaggy who does also drive is usually a bit too mellow because of all the Scooby Snack consumption and while he thinks he is driving very fast he isn’t. The cannabis part of the Scooby Snack also explains the constant munchies state of Shaggy and Scooby. And the still unfulfilled quest for the ultimate sandwich.
Velma could probably drive if she had took the time to get a license but she has spent most of her time learning other things.
Daphne as mentioned before is a racer and can’t keep it under the speed limit and face it looks only get you out of so many tickets. So Daphne saves her drive time for the oval track.
Freddy is the only one left and because he is driving all of the time thinks he is in charge but it’s really unclear if anyone is actually the leader but the money is controlled by the boardof directors and a CEO of Scooby Snack Inc and Shaggy is the primary share holder so ultimately it‘s his deal. Why else would it be called the adventures of Scooby Doo.
So there you go there is my theory on Scooby and Shaggy and the gang.
Other stuff tomorrow, have a great day and play nice in the neighborhood.
Ciao,
