This rendering of Scooby-Doo's Daphne Blake by Julius Zimmerman at first glance seems a little odd because Daphne isn't a character we would normally associate with heavy bondage. There were some internal clues that the wrist and ankle cuffs were added by Doctor Cylon, and we were later able to verify this when we found Zimmerman's original drawing. Not that Zimmerman didn't draw bondage situations; we have seen at least one with a girl who might be Daphne and of course there were others. In this case, Zimmerman drew Daphne in what was probably intended as a college setting, bending over and touching the floor with her skirt flying up. Why he depicted her with Bobby Sox isn't clear - 1969, the year that Scooby-Doo made its network television debut, was well after the Bobby Sox era - but fortunately for our purposes it doesn't matter much. And while it would be interesting to know if that anachronism is what inspired Doc to cover up the socks with ankle cuffs, that doesn't matter too much, either.

What does matter is that Daphne in that pose was more than enough to get the Good Doctor's imagination going, and he added the hands that are raising her skirt and applying a paddle, along with his usual excellent coloring and animation to produce the finished work. This piece dates from 2010, a fertile period for both men.
