In this issue the gang snags a recurring villain, Velma/Fred shippers get a tiny bit of fan-service, and Daphne reveals herself to be a Mystery Science Theater 3000 fangirl!
==========
OMG, Daphne! Stop breaking the forth wall!!!
Seriously? How could the editor not catch that "Thelma" goof!?
Daphne is an Mystery Science Theater fan!! This makes her 20% cooler!!

I still own this Garfield game. It's not too bad. But, sadly, it's has a few glitches that make it harder than it needs to be and I had to use my Game Genie to beat it.
...as a kid, I mainly loved it because I thought the graphics were awesome. ^_^
However, I could have done without that "it's almost as good as licking myself" joke. Seriously, comic? Ew. >_<

As always, I don't mind if people use these scans to make icons or whatever (I can't claim "ownership" of a book with characters that clearly aren't mine just because I scanned it). But credit would be much appreciated if you do opt to use them or show them off elsewhere. Thanks!

Date: 2013-01-28 09:32 am (UTC)From a technical standpoint, I don't see why the artist re-drew that scene when he could have gotten away with tracing the driving scene from the first page (since it's a flashback and all). I can't believe he made extra work for himself when he didn't have to.
However, this book's mistakes aren't the worst goofs I've seen in a Scooby comic (there was one 1970s issue where Shaggy was called "Fuzzy" and another where Fred was called "Mark" O_o)

I have a theory why it was Velma who had to act jealous. I think Fred was afraid Daphne would take it too seriously... :)

Date: 2013-01-29 07:20 am (UTC)Hey, I'm not into Fred/Velma (and Shaggy/Daphne, too, by the way) so I'm gonna shrug off the little clues (like this "jealous act") and reluctantly accept the huge ones as an AU! ^_^
However, when it comes to Shaggy/Velma (and, to a lesser extent, also Fred/Daphne) - I'm gonna cling to a tiniest clue possible! :)

Don't feel too bad. I didn't discover it until my late teens because I didn't have cable growing up.
You can always find Mystery Science Theatre on Netflix, DVD, or YouTube if you're curious about it. It's a lot of fun if you enjoy riffing on cheesy B-movies.
