Scooby
and the gang team up with Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole to
apprehend a ghost that repeatedly attempts to disrupt a treaty
between two rival nations. Jonny Quest is mentioned. Secret and
Morocco are anthropomorphic animals, and therefore I place this story
in an AU.
I don't see why Secret Squirrel could not be in the CU ;)
ReplyDeleteScooby can be in the CU, but Secret and Morocco can't?
ReplyDeleteScooby isn't significantly larger than a real Great Dane the way that Secret and Morocco are compared to real squirrels and moles, and his speech isn't perfect English the way theirs is. And talking dogs (preferably only a very few) in the CU have a precedent, Philip Jose Farmer's canine sleuth Ralph Von Wau Wau, who was surgically altered to be able to speak. Perhaps a similar experiment accounts for Scooby's ability to speak (relatively) coherent English.
DeleteThere's also this article by Dennis Power which explains how Scooby fits in the CU.
