Line 6: His name for production purposes is '''Boy Teen 8''' (''Oh, the Obscurity!''). In "[[Cafe Disaffecto]]," a seating chart is shown in [[Mr. O'Neill]]'s hands, according to which Shaggy is actually named '''Devan'''; before the clarity of the DVD release, this had been misread as '''Dewey'''. For consistency, the more commonly used nickname will be used here. (Do not confuse with the ''Daria'' fan artist, [[Beatnik Shaggy]].) ==~~Early~~ Appearances== [[Image:Antony_GAAAAAAH!.jpg\|frame\|right\|Shaggy in class, for once showing an emotion ("[[The Daria Database]]").]] Line 14: In "The New Kid," Shaggy is revealed to be on the school's yearbook staff. He shares various classes with Daria and Jane in the series (such as Jane's math class in "[[See Jane Run]]"), but he never interacts with them. He went to the [[Mall of the Millennium]] in "[[Malled]]" and on the paintball expedition in "[[The Daria Hunter]]." Surprisingly, he's interested in competitive running and applied for the [[Lawndale High Track Team]] in "See Jane Run" - but sadly, he was not picked and had to sit far in the background, where only obsessive ''Daria'' fans with zoom-in would see him. (Hi Shaggy!) ==Unusual Characteristics== Line 37 ⟶ 39: Shaggy appears sporadically in ''Daria'' fanfic as both a minor character and a prominent supporting character, but despite his peculiarities it wasn't until 2011 that he had a "breakout" role as a ''lead'' character. As a background presence, he appears in Richard Lobinske's [[First Summer]] story, "[[Fun on the Fourth]]," as "Beatnik Shaggy"; in Richard's story "[[Spelling It Out]]" as Dewey; and in [[Canadibrit]]'s "[[The Look-Alike Series\|Process of Elimination]]" as Shaggy~~; and in [[Charles RB]]'s "[[God Save The Esteem]]" as a member of Quinn's gang, who is honestly shocked to realise he's dressed like his namesake from Scooby Doo~~. His peculiar appearances on the show were given a fairly convoluted explanation in [[TAG]]'s "[[A Hard Days' Night]]," which as expected involved supernatural forces & time travel, and made him responsible for the events of several key canon episodes. Here, he uses the codename Shaggy but is actually named Dewey.
