Notes/trivia[]
- Scooby is revealed to be three-years-old.
- Within the comic universe, this story proves that Scooby still can't talk in complete sentences outside of his thought bubbles, as when he tries to communicate with an apartment owner, he talks like a Pokémon (which he had been doing since the beginning of Gold Key Comics's run).
- It's possible that this story takes place in Mystery Inc.'s hometown.
