Reception

Gross and Pacheco give excellent spotlights to all the gang, and they enhance their personalities with some inventive comic book panels, such as Daphne's groovy framing and Velma's perfectly round panel which no doubt reflects the shape of a magnifying glass. Gross and Pacheco also have the rare opportunity to show Scooby and Shaggy acting like serious sleuths. You can enjoy their expressions of curiosity and concern.
