from Indexer Notes
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.
This story's reprint information is inaccurately described in the indicia as originating with Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #33 (July 2013), when it is actually reprinted from Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #49 (November 2014). Both issue number and copyright date for this story, as listed in the indicia, are inaccurate.
The previous issue, Scooby-Doo Where Are You? (2010 Series) #122 (August 2023), https://www.comics.org/issue/2539815/ reprinted the story "Monsters of Rock" from Scooby-Doo Where Are You? #33 - and the reprint logged in the indicia might be an accidental holdover from #122.
