First we had Mad Men Yourself, where you can make 1960s-ish, retro-looking avatars for yourself, and now comes Scooby-Doo Yourself. It's a promotion for the new prequel movie Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins, which premieres this Sunday on Cartoon Network.

Unlike the Mad Men version, where you could just create your own from a series of options on the screen, you have to upload a good picture of yourself and it will make you into a Scooby-Doo character.

On a side note, is that supposed to be Fred in the pic??

Ever wonder how the Scooby gang got together to solve crimes? Cartoon Network has a new live-action movie coming this fall titled Scooby-Doo: The Mystery Begins that tells the story. Here's the trailer. I don't like how Scooby is done in these movies, but I guess a real dog would be even worse.

There are some cartoon characters that have a permanent shield of double-thick steel around them. When you think they're finally gone, they come back in a new form.

Take our pal Scooby-Doo, for example. Scooby and his Mystery Inc. friends have been with us since 1969. That's 37 years, kids; 259 in dog years (you knew I had to throw in that joke, didn't ya?). Since then he's been paired with Fred, Daphne, and Velma, the Scooby-Doobies (From Laff-a-Lympics), Dynomutt, Vincent Price and, ahem, Scrappy-Doo. After leaving Saturday mornings in the late '80s, he returned with the entire Mystery Inc in What's New Scooby-Doo for the Kids WB.

Now he's back again in this fall's 'Kids WB on the CW' (catchy, ain't it?) in Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue. In this show... well, perhaps you should jump to find out what it's all about, and also see some of the other new series premiering next fall on Kids WB.
