- Doctor Cylon begins a series of cartoons featuring the gang from Scooby-Doo with Bookworm, and then
- The Comics Spankings Series continues with the start of a new mini-series of foreign comics, and within that a mini-mini-series of Spanish-language comics, kicking off with "The Spanking Sheriff".
- Resident Artist Hugob00m has got another new O.T. Katie strip. This one features Katie's daughter Kaylyn, and it's called Lila's Audition. No link here but you can go directly to B00m's gallery from here or follow the link on the Home Page.

During some very bleak times recently, I found myself so debilitated each night that I couldn't do much other than look up the episodes of the old
Scooby-Doo series (the original one). I hadn't seen these since they were originally run in 1969, but they were pretty much as I remembered. Sure, they were formulaic, but they were still fairly effective as long as they stuck to that formula: Fred constructs some Rube Goldberg-like trap that the bad guy in the fright mask is lured into by the reluctant duo of Shaggy and Scooby. Velma is the smart one who finds the clues, while Daphne is pretty and is frequently endangered.
Of course all these characters are at best one-dimensional, but it was Daphne who, unsurprisingly, seemed most in need of a make-over to the politically-correct cretins in charge of the entertainment industry today. It simply wouldn't do to have a female in danger; no, no, she has to be the physical equal of boys like Fred who probably outweigh her by fifty pounds. I think she was a karate expert in some of the newer incarnations - I certainly haven't seen them all - and interestingly, the later ones I saw featured a reduced "gang" consisting of only Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, and Scooby's nephew Scrappy-Doo, who was apparently added when the ratings were slipping. What happened to Fred and Velma was never explained as far as I know.
And of course that's the problem with all series: the original version is best but has to run out steam sooner or later, yet the company that owns it wants to continue making money. We wind up with ridiculous movie sequels like
Battle for the Planet of the Apes, TV franchises like
Star Trek with numerous spin-offs that are pale imitations of the original, and of course comic book superheroes who go on forever until they sink to bizarre and offensive depths like the upcoming bisexual version of Superman. Of course this last is the product of more than mere exhaustion, which is what happened to
Scooby-Doo where the original formula worked but nobody really needed to see it over and over again after the first year or two - it's the destructive result of cultural Marxism that aims to destroy Western culture entirely, and I hope the new Superman flops the way so many other products of our new, wokester "creators" have. But let's get back to Scooby-Doo.
The original version was best, and one proof of that is how spanking artists always use Velma and Daphne as they appeared in 1969. The question of why Velma seems to have been the subject of both spanking and non-spanking (mostly porn) drawings as many times as Daphne is a puzzling one, and I certainly have no answer although I'm sure I'll bring the question up again

. We begin a series of spanking-themed drawings with Velma and Daphne this week in the Doctor Cylon Gallery, and during this series we'll see both of them - sometimes in the same drawing - with bright red bottoms.
There will be an interruption after next week's "Halloween Daphne," however, due to the ol' Web-Ed's forgetting that the
Scooby Series was ongoing when he scheduled a lot of
Little Annie Fanny for November. I have no idea how or why this happened, except that I'm still very tired and overworked and I probably wanted something from comic strips to complement the other comics stuff we're doing right now, so Velma and Daphne will be back for a return engagement beginning in December.
Didn't mean to go on so long here. See you all next week!
