New story.
In a major breaking of the fourth-wall, the character of the actor playing Puck delivers three balloons-full of verse directly to the reader - and Shaggy and Scooby react to it. Further, the same character speaks to the reader for the entire last page of the story.

Indexer Notes
Even though this story is a reprint - not cover-featured, but a backup - artists Robert Pope and Scott McRae are credited for "Cover". That original cover, from Scooby-Doo (DC, 1997 series) #159 (October 2010) can be seen at this link. https://www.comics.org/issue/771749/#1712959
Shaggy, rather than Velma, exclaims "Jinkies!" three times... page 2, panel 3 / page 4, panel 1 / and page 6, panel 1. He also utters his trademark "Zoinks!" once... page 3, panel 1.
Even Scooby-Doo says "Rinkies!" in his dog-talk... page 9, panel 3.
The library at Westnorthern University is named the "William Hanna Library" for the co-founder of Hanna-Barbera Productions.
