LaL pictures

Are Scooby and Shaggy's LaL pictures entirely necessary? -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 10:06, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Honestly, I'm not sure. I would say no because it's simply an addition of a vest and they'll already have enough variations as it is. Whereas the likes of the Teen Angels and Dynomutt and Blue Falcon will only have a few in comparison, but if you considered LaL its own independent universe, then it should be given its own place. If we do decide on LaL, then I'd have to add another row to the infobox, because I think Scooby's is maxed out. -- MisterJames (talk) 11:52, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
Honestly, I don't consider LaL canon, for one there isn't enough evidence it ever happened in the universe. It wasn't brought up again, but then does that consider Yogi's Gang non-canon, since it was never brought up again? No, it doesn't. But the main problem is it was never really mentioned after the series (and comics) the universe just resets all the time in HB. So it's makes it hard to determine if it actually ever happened. Mumbly appears as a friend of Dynomutt's in one of his episodes, but then he's the enemy of Dynomutt here? That doesn't make much sense, but I guess copyright got the best of Mumbly and turned him evil like Muttley, I think Mumbly was always villainous, although being a law enforcement, he still acts like Muttley in some ways, he snickers when something bad is happening to others. SCOOB! kinda gave us a hint of what LaL might actually be, an arcade game Scooby, Shaggy and Dum were playing that had the fictional characters. But that doesn't exactly explain how Yogi and Boo Boo exist in their reality, it could actually be noted they never mention LaL in that Team-Up comic. I'm sticking with the characters do exist in universe, but are famous actors in television shows within the universe theory. But in the end, it's probably wise to add their LaL pictures (especially when it comes to Snagglepuss and Mildew because they wear more clothing than just a vest). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:23, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
I'll message you on discord for the site with higher quality season one episodes (it doesn't have higher quality season two episodes unfortunately). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:31, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
I found out on this site someone uploaded every episode (including season 2 episodes) in high quality and the best part is, it's a safer site with no annoying ads. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 00:36, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
Since we're not deeming LaL canon, I went ahead and added Scooby's (and others) pictures. LaL seems to not belong to Scooby or Yogi when it comes to who owns the show, the comics showed us Yogi was mainstream, but the series had very little to do with him throughout each episode. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 22:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
The images for below the infoboxes aren't strictly for what isn't deemed canon, it's also for different style changes so that readers can see different looks. It's kind of similar to what they do on Memory Alpha (the Star Trek wiki), where they have the recent look of the character at the top, and then how they first looked at the bottom, but whee doing the opposite, and also just other looks as well. -- MisterJames (talk) 00:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I'll move them to their galleries under "outfits", if that's alright with you. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 00:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
I think that's best. -- MisterJames (talk) 02:23, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

"Scooby-Dooby-Doo!"

One of Wally's quotes in his own show was "Scooby-Dooby-Doo!" (at least, it sounded like that to me) which is interesting because he was over six years before Scooby was made. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 23:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Appearances section

So, I added the Appearances section. How does it look? (I feel I added it in a controversial area. LOL.) -- MisterJames (talk) 11:46, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

It looks awesome. It'd definitely be useful in the future. BTW, I think Scooby appeared in every LAL episode, but I'd have to look back on that. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 15:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
Oh, great! And, aw, I forgot that series! We should check that. If he did appear in every episode, I don't think he spoke in every episode. -- MisterJames (talk) 15:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
He didn't speak in every episode, but I think he appeared in every. I remember seeing Shaggy was absent in some episodes like "France and Australia". Scooby-Dum was probably in every episode (I'm not sure why he appeared in every episode here while he was only in four episodes of The Scooby-Doo Show) -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 15:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Birthday

Hanna-Barbera calendar issued to employees, retirees and selected fans every Christmas for years was the inclusion of various "birthdays" and related special days vis-à-vis the several characters from the 1982 calendar. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 00:44, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Really?! Can you get some source? Like a link or photo? -- MisterJames (talk) 00:46, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
If you zoom in closely on the calendar pages you can actually see some of the characters' birthdays. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 00:52, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
On my profile, I have every birthday listed. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:42, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

2017

Wikipedia clams he made a cameo in Wacky Races (2017), but all I found was Scrappy, any idea of where he might have appeared? (if he even did) -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 17:07, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Yogi's Gang

Scooby and Bristlehound were originally going to appear on Yogi's Gang[1], but both never made into the final show, although interestingly enough, Lambsy was in the Ark Lark film. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 05:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

That's an amazing find. -- MisterJames (talk) 07:05, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Yeah it is, lol. That guy has a lot of amazing HB stuff he post on flickr, I just looked closer and found Scoots (of the Chattanooga Cats), so I guess we were going to see the Chattanooga Cats and some of their co-stars originally. -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 07:57, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
I don't know the exact reason why they decided to cut Scooby, wasn't he gaining popularity during that time right? I mean they did owe up for his removal years later by putting Scooby on Laff-A-Lympics (which was the first and only full on crossover show to feature Scooby, not counting New Movies and Guess Who? as they rarely had crossovers with other characters from the company). -- Snoopy The Dog (talk) 19:46, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
