Actually, I am too tall now to be Velma but I did have big clunky glasses like her for years. Switched to contacts now though. And I never could pull off that kerchief look Daphne likes. But I can stand with my hand on one hip kind of leaning to the side like she always does. So I guess I am a hybrid now.
This made me laugh and laugh. It’s exactly the kind of thing my husband would say. (Yes, his name here is Shaggy, but he’s not an active member anymore.) I don’t think he has a thing for Velma though - I should ask him if he is a Velma or a Daphne man.
I think the Scooby Doo characters have to be some of the most gossiped about cartoon characters ever. What with the rumors of lesbians, threesomes, pot smoking, bestiality, orgies in the van, etc. What other cartoon has all that?
The Venture Bros. (the greatest cartoon ever) recently featured twisted parodies of the Scooby gang:
Fred was Ted (Bundy), charismatic sociopathic serial killer and group leader through intimidation.
Daphne was Patty (Hearst), socialite who was brainwashed by her kidnappers.
Velma was Val (Solanas), militant lesbian feminist and author of the man-hating SCUM Manifesto.
Shaggy was Sonny (David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz), old hippie and serial killer who claimed he was instructed to murder by his talking dog…
Scooby was “Groovy,” a mangy, murderous mutt.
