Description
The Cosmonaut Ghost froze. Had someone leaked the plans for his hotel-casino?And he would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that meddling... woman in her twenties.
So I've been trying to draw Miyuki and Lili fighting some Jiang Shi (as mentioned in a journal, sometime back), but it just isn't coming together the way I'd like. So I drew Lyta confronting an undead fellow instead. Does this mean the other girls will be having a haunted summer too? Depends on my available free time, but quite possibly so...
Ink drawing colored in photoshop.
Enjoy,

Actually the first thing I thought of when I saw that image was the Venture Bros. ep with the screaming astronaut ghost and the pirates. Maybe cause I was never a big fan of Scooby-Doo. Though I'll admit the new series is surprisingly good.
As is this picture. Nothing surprising there but it's still good just like your other works. I'm curious to see what's going to happen next though.

It makes sense, the Venture Brothers is inspired by that generation of cartoons (more Johnny Quest, but still). I used to like Scooby Doo as a kid because we basically had two levels of cartoons, really awesome stuff like Transformers, MASK, and GI Joe that were new and aired once a day, and really cheaply made Hanna Barbera leftovers that were all ten or more years old and in syndication, so they could marathon them cheaply through the early afternoon, and of these Scooby Doo was the best. It had nice enough art but cheap animation, and a laugh track (which makes no sense in a cartoon, if you think about it). I liked that each episode had a mystery to solve, even if it was exactly the same every time.
Now with the internet and all the channels on TV we really never have to watch anything because "it's the best thing on." In general that's for the best, but I worry future generations won't have the training to see through the real estate scams of Cosmonaut Ghosts.

I never did get that laugh track in Scooby Doo. It always bugged me. Especially since they always used it as parts there weren't funny! I'm not even sure half of them were SUPPOSED to be jokes!
But I see your point. There definitely is a wide range of stuff for kids to watch now. And yet cable networks STILL rerun the hell out of stuff.

Apparently laugh tracks were common in cartoons that were written as comedies, as with live action shows to let people know what kind of show they'd just tuned in to. I think a lot of it was also to let you know when the jokes are happening, since a lot of the humor in Scooby Doo is non-jokes about how Shaggy is always hungry. Another thing it does is stretch the run time by a few seconds where nothing usually needs to be animated, and any time Hanna Barbera could save money by not animating anything...
All the same, it was pretty entertaining, and the more I think about it the more I want to track down some old episodes (shouldn't be hard, apparently the original series ran nine years). A lot of the things that you'd probably want to avoid doing (like using the same plot for every episode) are kinda part of it's charm at this point.

Next thing she knows is she is waking up bound and gaged and carried by the ectonaught back to his hide out. What she knows has to hide her.

I remember both a space skeleton (that was supposed to be an alien) and an old timey diving suit ghost, but not specifically an astronaut. Of course it's been a while, and I'm sure I don't remember all the ghosts, since I found out just now the original run of Scooby Doo Where Are You was nine years. Nine! And after that they did a bunch of movies and spin offs. I really should watch some of those again.

Yup, I remember that guy. Or at least I think I do, it was more than 20 years ago.
