History Webcomic / ScoobAndShag

* BoxingLessonsForSuperman: Fighters are shown training in martial arts and figuring out how to overcome the weaknesses of their unique abilities to prevent being UselessWithoutPowers.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: PlayedForDrama. This is a sign that somebody has too much Ballyhoo in their body, which leads to them hearing voices in their heads. It's implied, especially through Bugs telling the audience off for giving her more power, that these voices are the viewers of the comic itself.

** Three circles in a triangular formation is representative of the Coward King arc and [[spoiler:Mick.]]

* MagicalEyeStreamers: Active Ballyhoo users are marked by streamers of wispy white energy trailing from their eyes, usually extending to and past the edge of the panel.

* ArcSymbol: The one on Scooby's dog tag. It's the shape of [[spoiler:the ship on which the {{Toon}}e characters escaped, and the insignia associated with Scooby's underlings while he was a commander]]. [[spoiler: It is later revealed that the presumably original Shag, back when he was the Desert King, picked out the insignia when he and Scoob first joined up with Mick. [[{{Troll}} Turns out he intentionally made it look like a dick as a joke]]]].

** During "Emergency Part 1", we see a picture of Mijo's family in the first panel, with his sister's hair resembling Mickey Mouse's ears. [[spoiler: Later, we see a strange man ranting about aliens and a "mouse in the white house", implying that the main characters weren't the only ones who avoided Velm's Format at the end of Mick's speech. When the subway carriage opens up, there's a familiar symbol, the same one associated with The Coward King arc. The image appears again when Mijo is checking his phone before it's revealed that the train conductor is dead.]]
** "Emergency Part 2" has a blink and you'll miss it moment during the panel where Mijo [[spoiler: is trying to reassure the little girl that people are already on their way to help. Right behind Mijo are some pin-prick eyes, implying that ''it'' might be controlling the train.]]

-->'''Eddy''': "Whatcha gonna do about it, Slim? Call the cops? Or did ya forget [[EliteAgentsAboveTheLaw we '''own''' them now?]]

* AmbigiouslyHuman: Chase and Kel, two human beings seen in "Regrets" only have 4 fingers visible despite looking completely human in contrast to [[spoiler: the toon that kills them.]]

* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: Meet a new guy and they'll be glad to talk about what their Ballyhoo does and the ways they can use it.

* ThemeNaming: All of the Ballyhoos introduced thus far are named after elements of television and animation.

** Chapter 128 has [[spoiler: Mick announce that he now [[TyrantTakesTheHelm controls all the world's governments and militaries]] with his speech ending with someone else using Format to erase everyone's memories. It's revealed that ''8,068,792,641'' people had watched the speech with the implications disturbing Swiper enough that Ger snaps him out of it. It's then implied that Dex has died, with Ger crying over his death.]]

** In "Deal", [[spoiler:we see a flashback of Shag and Scoob making a deal with Mick to join the Toones. Mick mentions that they can longer waste resources on petty resources, implying a crisis of some sorts. And also, that there are much bigger threats and that the people need to rally behind a common enemy.]]

** Inverted during "Deal" where it's revealed that the Toone national emblem [[spoiler: really is a dick, with the original Shag having told the higher ups it was a bone with both him and Scoob laughing about them in-joke.]]

* BodyHorror: Any toon affected by Antihoo (the opposite power to Ballyhoo) becomes a twisted mockery of what they once were. Examples included [[spoiler: Barney]] becoming a massive slug-like creature with a gaping maw, [[spoiler: Goofy]] gaining an oversized, realistic dog head and [[spoiler: JFK's]] body twisting around itself with his ribcage exploding outward.

--> '''Commander One''': ''(Speaking directly to [[spoiler: ''Shaggy'']]: In due time...''commander''.

** As of Part Two, animation [[spoiler:is a banned medium ''worldwide'', Ballyhoo monsters are now appearing in the real world, and masked assailants are after Shag]].

** [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/scoob-and-shag/one/viewer?title_no=210827&episode_no=74 Chapter 74]] is a MASSIVE one, revealing [[spoiler: both the identity of a newly-freed Commander One, that being Mickey Mouse himself (who has [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes and]] EyeStreamers ''[[SplashOfColor in a black and white comic]]''), and the fake "Mick" who's been working to free him this whole time, who turns out to be ''another Shag.'']]

* WholeEpisodeFlashback: "The Coward King" details pretty much the entire story regrading [[spoiler: Scoob, Shag and Mick]] leading up to the beginning of the main story.

* SplashOfColor: The comic is almost entirely black-and-white, but certain characters with high amounts of Ballyhoo will have colored Ballyhoo energy, [[PaintingTheMedium which the other characters can see]]. [[spoiler:Mickey's color is red, Scoob's color is cyan, and Bugs's color is magenta]]. The ending of "The Coward King" shows that Scoob and Shag's house is surrounded by light blue flowers. [[spoiler: Scoob's Channel turns light blue when it evolves.]]

* ArcSymbol: The one on Scooby's dog tag. It's the shape of [[spoiler:the ship on which the {{Toon}}e characters escaped, and the insignia associated with Scooby's underlings while he was a commander]].

* PopularityPower: This is ''a tangible in-universe force''; the power of a {{Toon}}e's Ballyhoo is directly proportional to how much they're loved by humans. However, there's [[spoiler:an equivalent force that harnesses the opposing PowerOfHate]].

** Unlike the other characters, [[spoiler:Mick]] is the only one whose eyes have [[RedEyesTakeWarning any colour to them.]] During the timeskip, Bugs Bunny has magenta eyes which doesn't seem to mean much until later on when [[spoiler:Twilight]] first reveals herself to Dee. [[spoiler:Twilight]] is coloured magenta, mentions having siblings and that they have agents in Dee's realm. Several issues later, [[spoiler:Scoob calls upon one of her siblings Illapa to gain their blessing in order to defeat Ms Bellum, implying that Scoob and Shag work for them due to sharing Illapa's blue colour.]]
** Long before we even see [[spoiler:Illapa]], notice how the Mystery Crew are associated with the colour cyan such as in the scene where Kermit finds Velm in a field full of cyan sunflowers or whenever Scoob channels his power into Shag.

** During Swiper and Courage's fight with her, Pop hallucinates them both as a singular Antihoo monster instead of two seperate ones. Later on, [[spoiler:she becomes a fusion Antihoo monster herself.]]
