Lol scooby doo. That what it reminds me about.
Zoinks! Jinkies! Ruh-oh!
I love Scooby Doo!
I was kind of looking forward to watching the ghost chase them back and forth through all of those doors.
“And I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling dogs and your mouse!”
Rouse? Rhere?
-Ruby Roo!

Yes, yes, I do believe I have mentioned the scooby-doo-ness of this whole arc.
What is SUPPOSED to happen here is a musical interlude with the spirit and the K9 squad running in and out of the doors, humorously peeking around the edge and simultaneously panicking as they bump into each other, and ending with them all running into different rooms leaving the spirit turning around with a confused expression on its face.
Needs more Yakety Sax
I’m more into Raymond Scott’s work, myself. Or maybe Barney Kessel.
YES!!!!!!!!
You too? XD
Oh you Kevin! lol
I see what you did thar.
lol I love every panel in this one the expressions are just great. And their right Kevin needs to stop getting ideas.
Zoinks!
Jinkies Frank let’s get out of here!
*Ralph. Bad typo bad!
Where is Frank today, anyway?
Burdened by deadlines
Burdened by deadlines and writing my e-mail wrong
Ralph?
Sargent Ralph
I should have expected this. hilarious.
What -were- you expecting? :3
They’re exactly the same in panels 4 and 5… they must be HOVERING!
I like that Fido leaped into Sergeant Ralph’s arms. x3
can someone say “awwww” please?
Awwww, its funny and adorable! Two in one!
I think a “Like, RUN Scooby!” would be more appropriate to describe the situation.
And yet he didn’t complain at all. He must be so caring. :3
Or too scared to even care.
But, generally the ghost chases…*
This is not a cartoon Kevin!
Aw, too bad…we had some awesome corny chase music all cued up and ready to go, too…
Which is totally not a cheap knock-off of a popular song
Ya mean this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ
And I was picturing Spo carrying Fido across the hall
My, this ghost surely looks buff today!
i think that he’s put off quite a few pounds since he died, I’m just say’n…
Why do I hear this chase music:
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ)
Instead of Classic Scooby Doo like I’m supposed to?
Because the internet has corrupted you!
I disagree, Cartoons such as Tiny Toons corrupted me.
If the internet corrupted me then I’d be hearing ‘you’ Rolling and Caramelldansen.
Great… now I want candy. Doh, now that song’s stuck in my head too.
“the more beautiful and pure a thing is – the more satisfying it is to corrupt”
Rule 58, one of my favorites.
Huh never heard this one… another internet rule? Sounds about right. XD
OR!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4
(????: You’re SO getting us banned one day. -_-”)
Oh come on I only heard this music on Benny Hill and I still had it in my mind.
WRONG! It’s me whom the Internet has corrupted me. I cannot unhear nor unsee!
http://youtu.be/mE6GVPq3ai4
Oh Yakkity Sax, how Benny Hill made you one of the greatest chase musics ever.
All we’d need is missing collars and a few female characters, and it would be complete. We already have the cops. :p
Fido is looking particularly chicken in this strip.
a hall of doors in a cave… *look at title* well i can’t argue with that
That’s the most adorable evil Mayan ghost ever! I mean… it’s a kitty so it’s instantly the most adorable of anything in its category, but still!
We totally need a mystical fennec fox to counter the kitty cuteness now.
http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/03/09/0040-let-sleeping-fennecs-lie/
I think it is actually Aztec, but it is adorable all the same!
I’m not honestly sure, some sort of meso-american adorable kitty x3 i love kitties… if only it was a girl kitty :3
Its just as well, I doubt they could have pulled off that constantly appearing and disappearing through doors that in no logical way should be connected together thing anyway.
I love Scooby Doo, and that is so funny, so many memories as well. and the doors, good heavens the doors scene that makes no sense is just so much fun.
If I ever get to build myself a mansion I’m SURE I’ll make a corridor like that that actually WORKS!
when u do plz invite me over
SURE! Let me just get a five on the lottery after it accumulates a billion(few million in $) so I can start building. XD
I’m pretty sure you’d have to break a few laws of physics, but if you manage be sure to tell me!
When you’re playing U&U the laws of physics are merely guidelines.
I LAUGH in the face of physics! All it takes is some well placed stairs, hidden paths… a few portals that teleport people between each other.
Don’t forget about the cake! Wait a minute… THE CAKE IS A LIE! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Curse you GLaDOS! You have crossed the line! I will DESTROY YOU!!!
Don’t press the button!
It is NOT a lie! It’s just hidden in a creepy dark room… didn’t you ever stay to see the credits?
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
If only there was a way to do it I’d give you a bunch of Internets for this. XD
Actually, if instead of rooms you have a series of intertwining tubes, it’s possible. All you need to do is make sure the grade is not too steep so that you can still run through them
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some work to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now.
This comic pretty much speaks for itself.
I don’t think we need any ridiculously long discussions
well thats a shame…..
actually, it isn’t a shame. my bad!
aww but ridiculously long and usually pointless discussions are where’s the fun at!
i can see this turn into one of those, anybody else?
I am going to do something horrible to you all…
Like take off our collars? Been there, done that
OK, what are the odds the jaguar’s a real jaguar in phosphorous paint (ala the Hound of the Baskervilles) and working for the nefarious villains, because that’s what totally would happen in Scooby Doo.
If they did, why didn’t they use him to scare away the driver in the first place?
Maybe they did and the driver’s afraid that if he tells a cockamamie story like that nobody would believe him.
It looks a little too big to be a real jaguar though. Perhaps a 3D projection over a thick mist background? (Hey they did do that in an episode. Something about scaring people from a mayan pyramid or wossname whatever.)
Dogs are about the same size as housecats in the HP universe, and jaguars are a lot bigger than that.
That (or what Darkgloomie said right above me) is possible it could be fake. The thing is we know Ghosts and the like are real in this world so its equally possible its not. I just don’t think Rick is going to have the Scooby Doo parody go that far.
Plus you have to take into account what the Limerick Guy said as well. (Though that also could have been foreshadowing for something even later in the comic and has nothing to do with this arc at all. However right now I’m assuming it means something in this arc.) That makes it more likely its something supernatural and not a projection or a real jaguar. Because this is what he could have been talking about since it looks like Foxstar was wrong about it talking about Sabrina.
This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a very long time, good show. The silliness is just perfect.
Soooooooooooooo cooooooooooool.
Scooby doo where are you!?
Threading the needle, …denied.
I… thought that was what it’s called, nope.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScoobyDoobyDoors
XD The cycle had to be broken.
I can’t quite put my finger on it but…i think this strip may be referancing something…an old cartoon perhaps? nah….
Quickly! We must add a laugh track!
I wonder how Sabrina would’ve reacted if she saw Fido jump in Ralph’s arms like that.
Sabrina deals with the supernatural anyway, so I think she would laugh about it. But it surprised me that Fido is so afraid of ghosts, that he jumps right into the arms of Ralph.
well think about the size and the fact its holding a weapon
Something tells me they’re speed-walking rather than running, possibly without moving their arms. At least they don’t have their heads turned sideways to highlight barely discernible expressions.
Too bad the trademark running sound defies onomatopoeia.
That would be the Fred-and-Barney technique, where they stand there with their arms straight out and their legs spin in circles like motorcycle wheels.
Science has proven that awkwardly packed groups are the best strategy for outrunning supernatural entities
So where’d they find this hall of doors? ;D
The Milton Ferret’s mansion is probably connected with the cave.
In the 4th panel, it seems that they are not really frightened…
they are not running for life but as if they are just told to do so XD;;
Well, they definitely made contact with the ghost! XD
And Kevin must be the most curious/bravest dog in the group, according to the last two panels.
somehow i feel Spo will get left behind :[]
Wow, I usually don’t comment on stuff like this, but that second panel is rather compelling. I love the perspective!
Kevin: Zoinks!
Ralph: Jinkies!
SPO: Lemmee at ‘em! LEMEE AT ‘EM!
Fido: Gang, I’ve got a plan!
Me: I smell a parody of EPIC proportions!
actually, Fido was more like “Rhost!!!” Ralph was Zoinks, and I guess Levin was Jinkies.
nut yes, Spo is Scrappy doo.
*but
Hmmmm… the hall of doors… now where did I see that before…?
Just one difference: the ghost isn’t evil, so sorry guys,
no headless-chicken chase ^_^
(and wait! Fido jumps in the arms of…?!!
I thought he was more… especially with his girlfriend being….
Nevermind)
Well this is going to be a Scooby-Doo thing
I knew something scooby-doo related would come up. Always with a Rick twist
lmao! cant believe Fido would jump onto Sgt Ralph’s arms XD
I think I saw what you did thar.
Also, Gang I have a plan! We might have to use Spo as bait though.
…Where’d Spo run off to after panel 3?
Lol, yet another good one ^^
Is it so convient that there shaped like that and i here this chase music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN1ru6_u8lY
Scooby-Doo Doors LAMPSHADED!!
Man, I need to keep up with this.
Kevin: Or for that matter, why are we even spending our time running thru these Hall of Doors when he can just instantly phase thru the walls for that matter?
Fido and Sergeant Ralph:
Fido and Sergeant Ralph: (XTN) Face Palm to the Forehead! (XTN)
nice skooby doo referance XP
um, why run away from the ghost before even KNOWING if it wants to kill you? i think i have stated my hypothesis before, where the ghost merely was guarding the treasure, and it was stolen. Why would he attack them then?
Preconceptions; they see ghost, they think HORROR!!
Its watching too many scary movies that does that.
Lol. Awesome. When will you do Grape again?! (I love grape so much because she’s just like me.)
To show you how much I love Grape, I changed my avatar.
Its not working!
Now it is!
My, Raldo (Ralph/Fido) sure looks shippy in this strip.
(I just made that term up, it sounds funny to me. Please leave your weapons and frying pans in the basket before replying to this comment)
This has scooby doo beat, because there’s more than one dog and no braindead humans taking half an hour for what I can figure out in five minutes.
Woah. Kevin has some MUSCLES (Or as Rocky and Victor from Lackadaisy would say ‘Mah-scle!’)
Epic win! XDD The looks on their faces are priceless!
