Well I was born in 1968 so grew up with Scooby Doo, and a range of other cartoons and shows like The Banana Sp;its, Captain Caveman, Wacky Races, Bugs Bunny and so on. Scooby Doo was just one of the many shows I watched and enjoyed. Let's get this over and done with, I never really liked Scrappy, as a kid I found him annoying and it just broke the show, I don't see the point of the changes so avoided those episodes.
Not sure if everything Scooby made it over, I don't recall Richie Rich but it's hard to remember as a lot of shows had a very siilar style of animation, and probably reused a lot of cells to save money.
So I grew up, got interested in RPGs live Traveler, AD&D, Call of Cthulhu... which soaked up a lot of my time. Now there wasn't much TV, period, only a few channels which had to cater for everything so cartoons an other children's shows had the odd hour here-and-there plus Saturday morning So it wasn't that I stopped watching it, there were just other things to do.
I would watch the odd episode from time-to-time, especially when I my children were growing up. I think it was around then that I started watching more of it, What's New in particular. An they were good and we all liked watching them, nothing too scary for a small child but better than the stuff written for small children.
And then it happened, Where's My Mummy. And boom, that was it, I was back in the Mystery Machine. It also sparked my fan-fiction writing and preference for Velma and all things Dinkley. Written quite a lot, though that has petered off in the past year or so, but it will probably return at some point.
My 'local' comic store is this place
collectables on the ground floor, comics and books in the basement. Nice place to visit but I do all my comic ordering stuff on-line. But there's a nice fish and chip shop near-by so it's well worth the visit.
General bio, married with two children, live in London, fighting a loosing battle with my waist-line as I get older, go to work, pay bills, hopefully sending my daughter off to university this September, normal grow-up stuff. Play Fallout 4, waiting for No Man's Sky to be released, just ordered an early birthday present for myself of a new graphics card for my PC and.hoping I've done the power consumption correct so that I don't have to order a new power-supply a few weeks later. Like Soupperson I don't watch much TV - just the odd factual show, I do read a fair bit, again non-fiction is my preference.
