It's #NationalHatDay! 🤠 Jeepers, there are so many times when #ScoobyDoo and Shaggy (and Dum too!) donned a groovy chapeau, that I couldn't choose just one!
Because everyone knows that the key to a good outfit—or as the case may often be, a disguise—is an appropriate hat! 🎩
✒️ January 5, 1886: Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" is published. 📖
“All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil: and Edward Hyde, alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil.”
Mara Corday also modeled for another famous pin-up artist -- Alberto Vargas! 💋

♫ You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done! ♫ #ScoobyDoo

"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?"
With lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow, the fairytale classic "Snow White" premiered December 21, 1937. It was #Disney's first full-length animated movie! 🍎🐿🐦🌹🐿🐤🍎
In the spirit of #ChocolateCoveredAnythingDay, allow me to direct your attention to a few of the, er, questionable chocolate-covered things that #ScoobyDoo and Shaggy have eaten:
- Shaggy Snack (chocolate-covered pizza pie) 🍕
- Corn on the cob 🌽
- Chocolate-covered hot dogs 🌭
"Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals." ~ Walt Disney, #BornOnThisDay December 5, 1901 🎨♥️🐿️🦢🦌🐇🦝
