Scooby Doo

Scooby Doo costumes for Halloween sound pretty good, but let's find out a little bit more about Scooby. This talking dog began his long run on TV, along with his friends in Mystery Inc., in 1969. These cartoon characters have been making kids laugh for forty years! The writers got together and tried to decide what breed of dog to base Scooby on. It was decided to use a Great Dane...but Scooby isn't the AKC standard of this breed at all!

Cartoon Characters

The Cartoon Characters are :

Fred "Freddie" Jones
Daphne Blake
Velma Dinkley
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers

. These four characters are reminicent of the Dobie Gillis gang. Fred is based on Dobie, Shaggy on Maynard, Velma on Zelda, Daphne on Thalia.
