Where does the “Scooby-Doo” meme come from?

The visual source comes from the American TV series "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. The first broadcast aired on CBS on September 13, 1969. The concept features Fred, Daphne, Velma, Sammy, and the talking dog Scooby-Doo traveling in the Mystery Machine.

This simple and charming narrative structure anchored the franchise in global pop culture.
