“Sight for Scared Eyes”
Welcome, dear readers, to my continuing journey through the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? comic book series, which began publication in 2010. I continue to renew my subscription so that I can continue to review this series for you, dear readers.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #116 opens with “Sight for Scared Eyes,” which is written by Derek Fridolfs and drawn by Randy Elliot. The story finds Mystery Inc.: Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma are tying up the case of “the Ogre of Oglesby Orchard” when Velma's glasses are broken. So the gang is off to see the optometrist at “Made in the Shades,” where Velma can get an eye exam and new glasses.
However, the office is being haunted by a giant cyclops that keeps crashing around the place. While Velma struggles to believe her eyes, the rest of Mystery Inc. sets its sights on solving the mystery of this one-eyed monstrosity.
The second story, “Jinkies” is, as usual, a reprint story and is written by Sholly Fisch and drawn by Dario Brizuela. [This story was originally published in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #61 (cover date: November 2015).] The story opens with Mystery Inc. in court for the trial of Rob Felony, who was haunting his condominium as “the Sublet Specter.” While on the witness stand, Velma suddenly sees a ghostly jurist … that no one else sees! If Mystery Inc. can't solve this strange new mystery, Velma's strange vision could help set Rob Felony free.
Both of the stories in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #116 have as a theme, Velma's eyesight and her glasses. Also, both stories are produced by some of this series' best contributors, writer Sholly Fisch, artists Randy Elliot and Dario Brizuela, and also Derek Fridolfs, who has been both writer and artist for this series, and is a writer, here.
“Sight for Scared Eyes” works quite well because it accurately captures a few things one can expect during a visit to a doctor: waiting rooms, grumpy patients in the waiting rooms, harried assistants, and testy doctors. Fridolfs also casually drops a clue about the end of the story at the beginning.
“Jinkies” seems a bit more implausible, even beyond the usual implausibility of Scooby-Doo, but Sholly Fisch offers a nice spin on the threat of wireless technology. He also uses as a premise something of which we Scooby-Doo fans rarely consider. How would any of Mystery Inc.'s cases stand up in court?
So, I recommend Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? #116 to all Scooby-Doo comic book fans. Like issue #115, it is one of the best issues of the series of the last two years, and it is rare for this series to have consecutive exceptional issues. And until next time, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
