Jacked? Damn straight, have you seen him with those weight lifting scenes?! He lifts it up like it’s a feather!
Dude spends every week running for his life with a dog that’s got to be at least 100 lbs in his arms. Constant aerobic workout with weights, massive hunger, laid back attitude: he’s an fighting-anime hero whose style is entirely built around escape and speed.
According to season 1 episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You, Shaggy is both “the swingingest gymnast in school”, and a track & field athlete who is the fastest (human) in the gang. So, yes. Definitively canon.
His appetite isn’t about being stoned, it’s because he’s a teenage jock.
To be fair, he can be a teenage jock with very high caloric needs and also be constantly stoned. They’re really not mutually exclusive.
Whilst some are wondering what Shaggy is wearing, I’m wondering if Fred is wearing anything at all, other than that conveniently placed surfboard.
so last night I had a dream that everyone in scooby doo went to college or something except for shaggy and scooby and shaggy was morosely trading in the mystery machine for a prius and the last thing I remember before waking up was scooby saying “raggy why” and shaggy goes “we need a car with better gas mileage scoob”
although character backgrounds are fairly fluid through the Scooby Doo franchise, of all the gang, Norville “Shaggy” Roberts is A> the most financially well of, and B>the most likely to get an athletic scholarship. Daphne’s parents are rich, but she has for sisters, and the money is her parents still. Shaggy however is the sole beneficiary of the estate of his late uncle Beauregard, who left him an unspecifiedly large fortune and a large southern plantation. Shaggy is independently wealthy. Shaggy is also said, at multiple points across the various series, to have, in high school, won numerous awards in both Track and gymnastics. Coupled with the fact that he can outrun Scooby at times, and Great Danes can sustain speeds of 30 mph, means Shaggy can outrun Usain Bolt, atleast is there’s a mummy behind him, or a pizza at the finish line.
TL:DR Shaggy is doing fine and you don’t need to worry about him.
Now, let’s talk about how, CANNONICALLY, Scooby can speak human languages because he is distantly related to dread Cthulhu…
