Shaggy was basically Jughead with a goatee...
Yeah, and I don't remember ever hearing of someone calling Jughead a druggie
He's just a lovable, awkward looking food expert
Velma is awkward looking, too. Or rather, they were the normal looking people of the group. Not the "cheerleader and jock" that Fred and Daphne were XD
I guess some people just like to "talk trash" or insert things that were never there in children's shows. Why? I don't know.
Wonder why they didn't have He-Man or Rainbow Brite or someone in there. Or were they already pretty much done and gone by then?
