Scoob and Shag, A Crossover battle comic for fans




Recently, I have noticed that Warner Brothers has been crossing over their cartoons more frequently. Last Halloween, they released a trailer for Learning With Pibby that I highly recommend everyone watches. In their new Smash clone they showed Shaggy fighting Superman. With crossovers, fans can see how characters from different shows react to one another.


This is why I enjoy alternate reality shows. I enjoy seeing your favorite characters fight with both galactic heroes and barbarians using items from their respective television series. Sadly, both characters have to return to their respective story universes, and unless their company decides to create another crossover event, they will never meet again.


Fans afterwards have opinions, including:

"This character would learn better techniques in this universe," or "Character A from universe A would vaporize universes B and C with one blast." These are some theories suggesting what might happen if certain characters lived in these universes. Fans make fanfic comics of their favorite characters together because nobody else will.


Amidst the memes of Shaggy from Scooby Doo using ultra instinct, I came across a fantastical series that starts out as a gag, but slowly escalates into an all-out war between famous cartoon entities in a battle of good and evil. This comic is called Scoob and Shag, by Misterie Krew. Though it has cartoon characters by name and shape, Misterie could have given everyone different names and the fights would still be amazing. This is a crossover that fans wanted, but it does not have huge financial backing. Basically just a guy making an epic comic.


Scoob and Shag starts out as one off jokes spoofing the main formula of Scooby Doo. from Shag saying anything but zoinks, to making Scoob a powerful god with a gun who curses a lot with a lot of r's sprinkled in. After the jokes run out, Scoob and Shag witness a murder, while following a green frog, and a mouse into an abandoned building.


American readers will remember this frog as Kermit the frog from the muppets, and the mouse as Disney's Mickey Mouse from their childhood. More characters from different television cartoons begin appearing throughout Scoob and Shag, but Scoob and Shag begins to become a spectacle of horror, and battle as the reader watches iconic characters battle to the death.


Shag gets separated from the group and finds Goofy, while human Mickey leads Kermit and Scoob into a lab to sneak past a monstrous Barney Rubble. This begins the first fight in the series as Scooby learns about Ballyhoos, a power that changes fights, and creates an energy blast cutting a monster Barney in half and destroying him. Afterwards, Yosemite Sam shoots Kermit, and captures Scooby traumatizing my childhood, and creating a lovely dinner conversation. "Augh, That's all kinds of wrong!"


What adds weight to the fights is that some of the readers know these characters from their childhood and it hits harder watching Barney Rubble die, than for a random scientist. The writer could make random people do the same exact thing, but for this type of story This works out great.


Goofy begins to transform in front of Shag, and Shag begins to bail out of a cloning room. Goofy grabs his arm and the arm gets amputated by the door. When Shaggy wakes up, Popeye, Kermit, and Yogi Bear tell him that Scooby was captured by Yosamite Sam. Shaggy also learns that he lost his arm.


Popeye tells Shaggy that all cartoon characters come from another planet. That planet broadcasted to humans. The admiration for cartoons created a fanbase and gave iconic cartoons superpowers. The more fans loved a cartoon, the stronger their ballyhoo, a power that changes fights became stronger. Shaggy doesn't have a Ballyhoo, but he will need to beat Yogi if he wants to go search for Scooby The cartoon who was previously one of the strongest commanders.


Shaggy and Yogi enter a sophisticated battle arena to fight 1 on 1. in the Arena, Shaggy throws the first punch, but somehow a version of himself punches him back instead. Yogi explains that his ballyhoo will take a person's attack, and send it back at equal force before it ever hits Yogi. This means that yogi almost never gets hurt in a fight, but you get hurt for trying. Smarter than the average bear. Shaggy runs into the simulated forest looking for an answer. Yogi says his ability isn't strong, "It's how I use it. Cuz I don't need it to find you."


A pebble hits Yogi's head, but Yogi barely notices it. Shaggy throwing the pebble was the perfect trial and error to learn the gimmick of Yogi's ballyhoo. Shaggy then runs up behind Yogi and kicks him in the back. Shaggy did not get kicked back. Shaggy realizes that as long as Yogi is unable to see the attacks, Shaggy can defeat Yogi. Shaggy allows himself to get punched by himself again to be able to spray blood into Yogi's eyes. Now that Yogi has been blinded, Shaggy can start wailing an uppercut into Yogi passing the test.


Shaggy doesn't have a Ballyhoo, nor does he have two hands, but He doesn't need them if he has common sense and intelligence to figure out someone's ballyhoo and use it against them. Tomorrow, he will join the expedition squad in an attempt to combat Yosemite Sam and Save Scooby. This is just one of the battles in Scoob and Shag, but from the fight, You learn that most fights from ballyhoos have rules and you need to find those rules to survive the fights from other cartoons. I can't wait to see How Shaggy will mature as he fights to save his best friend, and I hope that more people will read this epic comic.
