Trivia / Meddling Kids (2017)

• Follow the Leader: A great deal of this book's approach to doing a Darker and Edgier Cerebus Syndrome take on Scooby-Doo is very reminiscent of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated (the meddling kids and the Harmless Villain alike being manipulated by a Lovecraft Lite Eldritch Abomination, the Les Yay with the "Velma" Butch Lesbian character, an actual supernatural explanation for the Team Pet being a Talking Animal), although it seems unlikely there's a direct connection (Cantero says his main interest in the Scooby-Doo franchise was the original Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!).
