Big Top Scooby-Doo! Page #5

-Something is wrong with your neck?

-No, um....

Maybe his cute little scarf is too tight.

Come by my trailer later

and I loosen it for you, yeah?

Listen to me, net boy.

You stay away from Lena...

...or I pop your head off like a bottle cap.

Nice to meet you. I'm Fred.

You'll be with the clowns.

-Ooh, clowns are fun.

-Fun like a root canal.

What?

In there.

Gotta go.

Um, hello?

This is easy for you to say. "Hello."

North Americans...

...always so cheerful. "Hello."

Well, maybe I don't feel like hello.

-Are you one of the clowns?

-No. I am an actor.

I have merely undertaken

the role of a clown.

That is a clown.

(HORN HONKING)

(DAPHNE LAUGHS)

No. You do not laugh at this honky-horn.

It is low comedy, undignified.

-I'm Daphne Blake.

-Yes, yes, the motorcycle girl. Marius said.

-The buffoon here is Sisko.

-Pleased to meet you.

-And I am Schmatko.

-Ha-ha-ha. Schmatko.

-What a great clown name.

-It is not a clown name.

I am Svyatopolk Stanislavevich Schmatko.

Sisko, that is a clown name.

Schmatko is a name of great dignity.

Once I toured the Soviet Union

performing the classics.

-Chekov. Pushkin. Turgenev.

-Bulgakov?

You know Bulgakov?

At last, a person of culture.

Sisko, we must show this cultured lady

our new routine.

Sisko.

And begin.

So? What you think, eh?

The umbrella represents intolerance.

Sure, I got that.

-Is funny, yes?

-Yeah, ha, ha, funny.

I like this motorcycle girl.

Okay. I go to make smoothie.

Who wants smoothie?

-One strawberry. Motorcycle girl?

-Oh, no thanks.

Fine, suture yourself.

Back in a littles.

(SPEAKS IN RUSSIAN)

(WEREWOLF GROWLING)

(SHMATKO YELLS)

So the circus is a little different

than I'd always imagined.

-How so?

-It's full of crazy people.

Oliverio threatened to pop my head off.

I don't know

if your werewolf is real or not...

...but if you're looking for someone

with a grudge against the circus...

...there are plenty of suspects.

Schmatko has a lot of bitterness

about being a clown.

Archambault seems nice,

but he sure looks like a werewolf.

Like, that Doubleday guy says

he doesn't mind losing his job...

-...but I don't know.

-I know, I know.

-And there's one more suspect.

SHAGGY:
Wulfsmoon?

No way.

They've been performing in every town

where the werewolf has appeared.

Oh, so you're gonna blame them.

Just because they were there...

...and the lead singer

claims to be a werewolf.

-What?

-You couldn't have mentioned this earlier?

But it's just for publicity. I mean, heh,

he also says he's from Sweden.

-And he isn't?

-Duh. Of course not.

Sweden's just a made-up place,

like fairyland or Australia.

I bet you think kangaroos are real too.
