The Adventures of Velma and Daphne

Martian Comics

on Jan. 3, 2012

Right around the time of the newest Scooby toon, (Scooby Doo, Mystery Incorporated, which I thought I would hate, but it grew on me) I had an idea of my own for the Coolsville Crew.
Velma and Daphne, fed up with being second fiddle to a prettyboy, a beatnik with a tapeworm and a talking dog, finally graduate high school, and go off to college in another town. Determined to reinvent themselves as someone cool (Velma) and someone strong and independent (Daphne), they do alright until the same creepy shit that ALWAYS happens, begins happening at the college.
Now, with no Fred to make traps and call the shots, and no Shaggy and Scooby to act as live bait, Vel and Daph have to do it all themselves. They find it's not so easy, so they do get some help. Velma invents an interactive AI database to help with clue gathering, hacking and whatever they may need computer-wise, and models it after Shaggy, because she secretly misses him. Daphne, with a bit of her parents' cash, contracts ace mechanic, Tinker (From Speed Buggy, who, also looks like Shaggy!) to build her a living car from scratch.
Together, they all solve the mysteries and catch the bad guys in rubber masks (and the occasional REAL supernatural/cryptozoological threat, just to spice things up) in their new town and are hailed as heroines on their own merits.
