I would have done it, too, if it weren’t for…

Meddling Kids: A Novel by Edgar Cantero

October 10, 2018 by sistercoyote 1 Comment

The What If of this book can be summed up as: What if Mystery, Inc., had actually tangled with chthonic beasts and didn’t realize it until their mid-twenties? What I thought of Meddling Kids? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery, too.

In Memoriam Heather North

Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero

December 21, 2017 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I finished this novel a few days ago, then I saw yesterday that Heather North, the voice of the original Daphne, had just passed away. Thus it seems that this is a perfect time to reflect upon Scooby Doo and his friends. In terms of cartoon analogies, Meddling Kids is closest to the recent Mystery Inc incarnation of the series because of the edgier character relationships and mysteries faced. In the cartoons, there are mysterious helpers some of whom turn out to be evil, and sometimes the monster is really not human in a mask, and it all turns out […]
