No Country For Old Scooby-Doo
Don't know how I missed this one when it came out, or that No Country For Old Men has been out for over three years. Where does the pop culture time go?

Marmaduke: Dog Is God
Caldwell Tanner is pretty sure the creator of Marmaduke is on drugs — above is his final argument. At least someone is on drugs. I approve.

Anton Chigurh-Dooby Doo
And if it wasn't for you meddling kids I would have won that coin toss. Hmmm, Anton Chigurh really would make the perfect Scooby Doo villain.
From Josh Cooley, who has been wondering about odd Scooby Doo guest stars, and he's taking suggestions for who to draw next.

Cross Stitch Pop Culture
Etsy shop weelittlestitches, who believe "in a world where cross stitch doesn't have to be boring or old-fashioned," have created some amazing patterns of superheroes, movies and TV shows that almost made me wish I had a hobby. Or skills. (Link via pacalin)

Scooby, Scooby John Hughes, Where Are You?
What if quintessential '80s teen movie director John Hughes had made an episode of Scooby-Do? Pop artist Dave MacDowell answers with Scooby Hughes, and nothing could thrill me more expect his revelation that Gallery 1988 is planning a John Hughes tribute show. That is going to be awesome!
It's funny, I love The Breakfast Club and have seen it innumerable times and yet I don't know the character's names other than John Bender (perfectly cast by MacDowell as a dog).
I see the brain (with Anthony Michael Hall's introduction to pot as Shaggy), an athlete (Emilio Estevez as Fred), a basket case (Ally Sheedy as Velma), a princess (Molly Ringwald as Daphne) and a criminal (the aforementioned Judd Nelson).
Seriously, the details are perfect in this - be sure to click through to see them. (The Breakfast Club! in "The Neo Maxi Zoom Dweebie" by Dave MacDowell)

I would love if Lost ended like this! To be honest, after this week's episode, its as likely as an explanation as anything that is going to come out of the writer's room.
Be sure to check out of Atom and Team Tiger Awesome nods to classic TV and movie history for the 11 ways that Lost should end. (Atom via Neatogeek)

They may be big TV stars, but somebody still has to walk them — this hour it is Scooby Doo, Pluto, Huckleberry Hound, Astro and Goofy. You'd think Huckleberry and Goofy would take the most offense, seeing as they appear as fully-functioning, self-aware beings. Okay, maybe not Goofy.
I assume David Soames' Famous Dog Walker's other clients include Snoopy, Santa's Little Helper, Brian Griffin, Odie, Mr. Peabody, Underdog, Ren and Clifford. (Link via The Daily What)

If The Van's A-Rockin'...
I Know We'll Catch That Villain
Fear And Loathing In The Mystery Machine
We were ten minutes south of San Clemente when the putrid green daisy walls of the van started closing in. I recall the fat four-eyed lesbian sweater girl saying something like "are you okay, Mr. Duke? We've got a mystery to solve..." when suddenly the gullet of the garish chartreuse steel beast began to spasm, as if a digestive track readying itself to vomit. I began clawing at my hamstrings and when I turned my head I was looking into the irridescent eyes of a grotesque animal screeching "Ruh Roh! Ruh Roh!" in a hoarse irritating dog-accented gibberish. That's when it things began to turn weird.Read the rest of the rest of the never-aired 1973 Scooby Doo episode with guest star Hunter S. Thompson. Many, many thanks to The Zeray Gazette for pointing me to this madness!

The Scooby Gang goes anime, from deviantARTist's Izaru and osy057. They seem a little sullen though, while Daphne and Velma have been sexualized just a touch. Go figure.Previously on Popped Culture...

If It Weren't For You Meddling Kids!
If It Weren't For You Meddling Kids!
Their animation was often choppy, the action repetitive but even so, William Hanna (who died in 2001) and Joseph Barbera created some of the most memorable cartoons ever made. Barbera passed away earlier this week and looking back at what he and his partner created at Hanna-Barbera is to view the work of animation giants.The list is incredibly extensive and impressive: Scooby-Doo, Where Are You, The Flintstones, Tom & Jerry, The Jestsons, The Yogi Bear Show, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw, Wacky Races and the Super Friends to name just the some of the A-list. While Warner Bros. animation was the gold standard, Hanna-Barbera were the workaday heroes, pumping out cartoon after carton and making my Saturday mornings heaven.
The meddling kids of Scooby-Doo was always a favourite, despite the fact that every show was nearly identical – kids drive about in Mystery Machine, discover a haunted (fill in the blank), they would split up and Shaggy and Scoob would go off and find food and the ghost/monster and after a failed trap the ghost/monster is revealed to be Old Man (fill in the blank).
So much of today’s prime-time cartoons owe a debt of gratitude to Hanna and Barbera. Without The Flintstones you wouldn’t have The Simpsons and Family Guy. Fred and family were the most successful animated prime time show until Homer’s clan took the crown. Many of the original cartoons are being revived these days, albeit in an ironic, mashed-up kind of fashion. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law and Space Ghost: Coast to Coast have both bought back the original HB characters and reimagined them as layers, judgesm, talk show hosts and more. Robot Chicken also delves into the archives every so often, going to show that I wasn’t the only on sitting on that couch every weekend.
The pair were amazingly prolific and imaginative and it will be a long time before pop culture sees the likes of them again.
