* At the conclusion of the ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' story "Nightmare First Class" (Gold Key issue #27), Shaggy doesn't so much forget to eat as he passes up an invite for dinner. During the story's mystery, he eats too much at dinner and has a subsequent nightmare which exposes the gang's client--an heir being haunted by a ghost--as a fraud. The gang tracks down the real heir who invites the gang to dinner, for which Shaggy takes a pass.
