Indexer Notes
New story.
Writer Sholly Fisch makes fun wordplay of the skateboarders’ lingo:
Skateboarder 1: “Dude! That Gremlin’s INSANE!”
Skateboarder 2: “You mean you LIKE it?”
Skateboarder 1: “No, not GOOD insane! BAD insane!”
Skateboarder 2: “Oh, okay. ‘Cause otherwise, that’d be SICK!”
Skateboarder 1: “You mean GOOD sick or BAD -- Whoooaaa!”

The word "Machine's" (to properly name the Scooby gang's classic van in the possessive) has clearly been left off of the opening caption in three printings of this story - the original, an earlier reprint in Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (DC, 2010 series) #62 (Cover Date: December 2015), and in this reprint.
