In defence of Scrappy Doo

Only a few cartoon characters through history have been so unfairly vilified as Scrappy Doo.

Of not know father, Scrappy ended up hanging out with his mum's cousin, the totally useless Scooby Doo and his gang of "detectives". The poor thing, knowing no better, ended up idolizing his uncle.
Interesting trivia, the character was created by Mark Evanier.

It's quite amazing that, despite Scooby being the most cowardly being in the planet, Scrappy always displayed bravery and balls bigger than all the people riding in the Mystery Machine put together.

Not only that, many theorize that Scooby and Shaggy are actually drug addicts, the facts are there. They are always hanging at the back of the van, no one is really sure what is going on there. More so, Scooby is practically unable to do anything but run away if he doesn't get Scooby snacks, who knows what kind of mind altering substances are in those. Even more suspicious is the fact that Shaggy is the only one who listens the dog talk. Their reactions of fear and paranoia are extreme, you can really tell that the drugs are taking a toll in their minds, their brain chemistry is totally fucked up.

So amist all that gang of junkies, closeted lesbians and annoying people in the van Scrappy is a ray of light. He is brave where the others are cowardly, he has an attitude. Despite his small stature he's always ready for a fight. He even has catch phrases. If Scrappy would be in charge Scooby Doo episodes would last 5 minutes. They'd get to the place in question and as soon as the ghost or monstear appears Scrappy would beat the shit out of it and encourage the others to do the same, it'd take no time for the meddling kids to discover that the ghost is the old guard from the amusement park.

My friends nicknamed my penis Scrappy Doo years ago, because according to them "it's small, annoying and nobody likes it". Don't worry Scrapy, I like you, they just don't understand how it is to be small.
