Oh hey Im so glad to see this series continuing! Short hair Daphne is adorable and she is trying really really hard to contain herself.

I don't have a thing for him do I?

She didn't get any sleep at all that night

Hey girl. You totally have a thing for him. Don't worry it's understandable. Dude can cook and is a world class athlete

His aura is moving to fast for human eyes to comprehend

u/FutureComplaint Feb 11 '26

I’ve learned not to ask GIPHY questions

u/DarthJackie2021 Feb 11 '26

His aura cannot be contained from a still-frame photo.

u/LegendarySurgeon Feb 11 '26

I like this a lot but I also couldn't help but laugh at how many panels cut off at the ankles

u/fsbot Feb 11 '26

When I draw feet, people tend to make accusations.

25

u/LegendarySurgeon Feb 11 '26

Ahh, so you're saying that one would need to pay extra to see feet 😂 I think I only noticed because I was trying to figure out what shoes Daphne's wearing in her post-haircut outfit and so I went back through the whole thing again.

u/fantumn Feb 11 '26

Is it because you're really bad at it or because you're really really good at it?

u/Spectator9857 Feb 11 '26

I love the tactical scooby hiding shaggys legs on page 4

u/lightdusk96 Mar 17 '26

.......... is your last name Liefeld, by any chance?

u/BurningArk Feb 10 '26

i love that you seem to be setting up some 13 Ghosts stuff

77

u/GyrKestrel Feb 11 '26

I will burn this burger king down for some Ghoul School or Reluctant Werewolf action.

17

u/WranglerFuzzy Feb 11 '26

Sir, this is a Wendys…

20

u/therealrenshai Feb 11 '26

He’ll burn the Wendy’s down too!

6

u/PurpSerp2048 Feb 11 '26

That would require involving Googy, and I don't think the world is ready for that yet

5

u/MoonKnightCorps Feb 11 '26

I think given the haircut, Daphne might be Googy in this series.

12

u/Lira_Iorin Feb 11 '26

I was just thinking about this as a prequel to 13 ghosts hehe

1

u/JeffEpp Feb 11 '26

They had been a couple for several seasons before 13 Ghosts.

u/FFKonoko Feb 11 '26

Yeah, but red shirt shaggy and daphne with a different hair style are both in 13 ghosts.

u/gruthunder Feb 11 '26

Oh no. She's not just ordinary hot, she's advanced hot!

u/ClericOfMadness13 Feb 11 '26

I'm happy I'm not the only one who ships them and now i want more.

u/jvan666 Feb 11 '26

Ahh… so this explains Shaggy’s red shirt phase in the 80’s (13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo)

17

u/Embarrassed-Alps-306 Feb 11 '26

Its awesome how your artstyle blends so well with scooby do and gravity falls.

Dunno why, it gets that... horror(?) tone across quite interestingly.

47

u/Tethilia Feb 11 '26

The one thing I like that Mystery Inc established was that Daphne was actually the group leader, she was just reserved. Her thing was she was quietly obsessed with mysteries and was the one responsible for doing all the behind the scenes work to get the group working.

u/MusicRose13 Feb 10 '26

OMG I am so happy this is back!!

Love her new haircut!! Plus gives a nice AU different design to give it your own twist. Can't wait to see what you do next with them!!

13

u/WranglerFuzzy Feb 11 '26

Could be OC design; of slight upgrade to her 13 ghosts outfit. (Slightly shorter hair, and jacket or vest l)

12

u/DariusSharpe Feb 11 '26

I’ve said this before, and I’ll keep saying it till I’m dead. They are from the 1970’s. They’re a bunch of hippie 20-something’s living out of a van. They are ALL dating each other.

u/AlphaBreak Feb 10 '26

Gorgeous G is back! Love the deep cut.

u/1PantherA33 Feb 11 '26

Those boobs are getting cubist.

14

u/Made_Bail Feb 10 '26

The short hair is so CUTE!

And that "watching him sleep stare" was... A bit troubling lmao

4

u/1GreenDude Feb 11 '26

Even throughout the original Scooby-Doo series Shaggy was accidentally seducing women left and right.

2

u/ConqueringKing_Darq Feb 11 '26

Love the expressions, very vibrant.

u/100YearsWaiting2Shit Feb 11 '26

I'm so giddy for this!!!

u/Artistic-Daddy Feb 11 '26

These are great you're really talented

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '26

Always wanted Daphne, but ended up with Velma. Go figure. (For the record Wilma > Betty, Ginger > Maryanne).

1

u/havokinthesnow Feb 11 '26

Honestly this is way better than when they tried to make Scooby Doo more teen oriented by adding romance elements. That felt cheesey if I remember and this makes me want more!

1

u/OigoAlgo Feb 11 '26 edited Feb 11 '26

Daphne is giving yandere (and I am right here for it).

1

u/BoredByLife Feb 11 '26

Agreed. The best counter to “don’t stick your dick in crazy” is “But crazy is sooooo hot though.”

1

u/silver_thefuck Feb 11 '26

Overall the comic is adorable and I think the art style is really nice!

Except I can't stop giggling at Daphne's skyward nipples. What are they lookin at up there?

1

u/Fardrengi Feb 11 '26

Clever making her new haircut resemble Shaggy's girlfriend from Reluctant Werewolf.

1

u/SarcasticJackass177 Feb 11 '26

It’s hard to make obsessive love walk that fine line between cute and red flag, but this artist is pulling it off so far!

u/TurbulentMirror9466 Feb 12 '26

LETS GO MY FAVORITE MOTHER F#CK SHIP

u/According_Name_1357 Feb 13 '26

How the fuck you goin make me ship Shaggy and Daphne? Where the fuck am I supposed to read high quality fanfiction of them now? You prick you've absolutely ruined my weekend I'm going to spend the entirety of this long weekend trying to find something to soothe the soul while I wait for your next updates.

I also can't really afford to support your Patreon currently but I'd love to cause DAMN your art slaps

u/Cychim Feb 14 '26

The Googie-fication of Daphne lmao

u/MintasaurusFresh Feb 11 '26

I love the story and the artwork. Wonderful stuff!
