While this is not technically a Scooby-Doo fun fact, it is somewhat related as it's about Mumbly from Laff-a-Lympics. I had originally thought that WB renamed Muttley just for Laff-a-Lympics; however, it was apparently more of a character evolution. Mumbly was originally named Mugger in the 1964 film Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and was a circus dog. He also walked on all four legs in this film rather than his hind legs as he did in later appearances. In 1968, the version of Muttley that most of us are familiar with appeared in Wacky Races. He had brown fur in this series, rather than the white fur he had in Laff-a-Lympics. However, right before Laff-a-Lympics, Muttley was given his own show, The Mumbly Cartoon Show, and his character name was changed to Mumbly. This show also changed his fur from brown to white. This show also significantly changed Mumbly's personality, and he was not evil like we see in Laff-a-Lympics. Rather, in The Mumbly Cartoon Show, Mumbly was a private eye who fought crime with a human sidekick. Mumbly also had a brief cameo in the third episode of Dynomutt, Dog Wonder, where he meets Dynomutt for the first time.

On a separate note, I'll also throw in an extra little tidbit here that I learned while researching this fact. Apparently, John Stephenson's Mildew Wolf voice was intended to be him doing an impression of Paul Lynde, who was a famous comedy actor at the time.

Here are the results for last week's poll! The winner was surprisingly not "Go Away Ghost Ship" like I had expected it to be.

HotStuffForGeeks has announced that a brand new limited edition Funko Pop Scooby-Doo figure will be released at this year's San Diego Comic Con. The figure is named "Scuba Scooby," featuring Scooby-Doo in his scuba gear that he wore in "A Clue for Scooby-Doo" from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?​. The figure will be available to purchase for $15 on Funko's website beginning Thursday, July 20 at 8:00am CST. These figures are known to sell out fast, most prominently highlighted by limited edition Hex Girls Funko Pops selling out eight minutes after they were made available on Funko's site. That said, if you want to purchase this figure, make sure you're on Funko's website right at 8:00am CST on the release day!

Thank you to The Cop for sharing this information.

In "Invasion of the Scooby Snatchers" from The Richie Rich / Scooby-Doo Hour, the guys are on a show called That's Impossible. This show is a parody of a now-forgotten reality show that was airing at the time, called That's Incredible, which similarly highlighted oddities and dangerous stunts, as seen in the episode. It's also worth noting there is a typo in the sign saying the show's name, as can be seen in the image above. "That's" should have an apostrophe in it on the sign, but it does not.

You'll also notice from the image above that the shadows of Fred, Daphne and Velma still appear on the title card every season 1 episode for The Richie Rich / Scooby-Doo Hour, even though they are not in the series.

Note that I did not include Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island as an option, as Morgan Moonscar was not one of the main villains, and I also felt the film would have an unfair advantage over the other options here.

We have a pretty surprising winner for last week's poll!

Four listings for a book series titled "Scooby-Doo and Krypto Mysteries" have been released. Similarly to the Batman books that have been release, each of these books will be standalone and will feature the gang teaming up with Krypto. This provides further potential evidence that WB may be thinking about still releasing Krypto, as it would be odd for them to release this book series when they've never teamed up in any official  series or film. The target age range for this book series is kids 7 and under. Each book is 32 pages and is now available for pre-order on Amazon for $6.99 (paperback edition) and $23.99 (hardcover edition) at the links below (each title is linked to its respective book). No cover images are available yet. The books are written by Michael Anthony Steele, and illustrated by Mike Kunkel. They are listed by Amazon as releasing on January 1, 2024, but I doubt they would release books on New Year's Day when all the stores are closed, so I'm guessing that January date is just a placeholder saying that they will be released sometime this January.

​Here are the descriptions and titles for each of the books:

The Obedience Class Caper
Scooby can't resist joining an obedience class that is offering free snacks. But soon, all the dogs except Scooby have robbed a jewelry store! The dazed dogs don't remember how they got there. Krypto and Scooby are on the case! But soon Krypto is being controlled too! Can the two crime-solving dogs get to the bottom of the mystery before anything else is stolen?

The Case of the Stolen Scooby Snacks
Scooby-Doo thinks his pal Krypto deserves a reward. What's a better reward than a Scooby Snack? But when he goes to look for his favorite snacks, they are all gone! Scooby Snacks have been stolen all over the city! Who is snatching the tasty treats?

The Haunted Dog Park Mystery
Scooby-Doo is enjoying a day at the dog park when a glowing ghost dog appears! When meddling monsters also pop up at the park, Krypto and Scooby team up to stop them. But who is behind these mysterious happenings?

Dogs vs. Cats
Scooby-Doo and the Super-Pets Krypto, Streaky, and Misty are all good crime fighters. But which animal is better--cats or dogs? After an emerald cat statue is stolen, the cats and dogs agree to a contest to find out. As the clues are sniffed out, who will come out on top?

In "A Night Louse at the White House" from The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, the senators are said to be from a fictional country named Klopstokia. This country was actually not invented by the writers of this episode; it is a reference to the 1932 comedy film Million Dollar Legs, which had a similar plot to this episode involving spies.

This was a poll that Shadowscooby suggested way back in March when Krypto Too leaked, but we were in the midst of doing the settings polls, so I've had it saved in the drafts. This poll has been held back for quite a while, but we're finally doing it this week! I included the episodes in which Shaggy and Scooby are dressed up as superheroes in A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, as well as "Comic Book Caper," just in case anyone wants to vote for them!

At long last, it's time to reveal the results of the settings poll series! Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is our winner with 21 votes!

A Night of Fright Is No Delight - 14
