Reception
The first story offers the reader a pure tale of humor. Frank Strom puts Freddie Jones on a Blind Datetype of show with a hilarious name. His date may be impressed by Fred's good looks and physique, but she is not impressed by his thirst to solve mysteries.
"Perfect Link" is another story that plays with the concept of Fred and the others being eternal teenagers. The highly recommended Scooby-Doomovie does the same. Immediately the victim of the night comments on Freddie's dated ascot and the Mystery Machine.
As the date progresses, Freddie keeps bumping into "nut jobs in masks" as well as other members of Mystery Inc. who correct his inaccurate deductions. Even Shaggy and Scooby manages to hoist Fred on his own petard. Clearly this is not his night, and the evening just gets steadily worse.
Vincent DePorter who penciled and inked some fine The Adventures of the DCUdoes stellar work here. Fred's always grinning. Velma's characteristic walk is dead-on, and Charlene's reactions to Fred's seeming mental instability gives her more character than her curves would normally suggest. Mr. DePorter also manages to include some grin-worthy slapstick as when Fred reacts as if Charlene were Daphne and knows exactly what he is planning. [1]
