Who's Hotter ( Scooby Doo ) Character Comparison


Hey Otakus and Geeks fans, Sean ( the true comic fan ) bringing you another segment of Who's Hotter. This time we are going to compare two retro cartoon characters from a great cartoon Scooby Doo. Daphne and Velma were the only two girls part of what is now called Mystery INC. In the original cartoon Daphne was always the hotter of the two, but that's the she was drawn. In the recent and updated cartoons, artist have had a different take on how Velma is drawn.

So now that both characters have been drawn equally as hot, who do you the fans think is HOTTER!
I have submitted a cosplay picture above of two sexy models. One playing Velma and one playing Daphne. I am also showing examples of  drawings from the original cartoon and sexy updates. It's now up to you fans to pick who's Hotter. Like last time I will cast my vote first. This was a tough decision, but Imma have to go with the sexy nerdy girl Velma!!

Have fun with this Guys and Girls. Let us know what you think.


Velma Dinkley is a fictional character in the American television animated series Scooby-Doo. She is prone to losing her glasses. She is usually seen wearing a baggy orange sweater, short pleated skirt (or in later episodes an A-line skirt, or sometimes shorts), knee socks, and Mary Janes. She is seen as the brain of the group.
Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intelligent young woman with highly specific interests in science (which in the Scooby and Scrappy Doo series leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist) or merely being very well read on obscure fields, such as ancient Viking writing (as in the third Scooby-Doo series The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries).





Daphne Anne Blake is a fictional character in the long-running American animated series Scooby-Doo. Daphne, depicted as coming from a wealthy family, is noted for her red hair, her fashion sense, and her knack for getting into danger. Daphne has appeared in more adaptations than the other characters, aside from Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo. Together with her other teenage companions, Fred Jones, Shaggy Rogers, Velma Dinkley, and Shaggy's pet Great Dane Scooby-Doo, Daphne would engage in solving various mysteries. In the first series Daphne was portrayed as the enthusiastic but clumsy and danger-prone member of the gang (hence her nickname, "Danger-Prone Daphne") who always follows her intuition.
