This was a quick piece I did for Color Theory a couple terms back that got a lot of fun responses. Some friends and I were joking about old cartoons and what they might have been like had they been created today.
One of the cartoons that came up was Scooby Doo. I came up with the idea that a modern version, targeted at young adults, would have to center around Daphne, a hot Korean pop star, Velma, a lesbian, a robot Scooby Doo (that also manufactures "Scooby Snacks," a recreational drug), Shaggy, a hipster and pot head and Fred, the openly gay party boy best friend of Daphne.
They basically tour the world solving mysteries that may (or may not) be the negative results of their drug-laden partying ways. Was it a ghost... or just a bad trip? Who knows!
i love this. brilliant take on updating the franchise to better reflect this generation. What? no scooby snacks?
