Line 2:
A silent background character in ''Daria'' who has an uncanny resemblance to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_Rogers Shaggy Rogers] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scooby-Doo ''Scooby-Doo''] cartoon show, hence the nickname. One source says the character's original name for production purposes was '''Boy Teen 8'''. In "[[Cafe Disaffecto]]," a seating chart is shown in [[Mr. O'Neill]]'s hands, according to which Shaggy is actually named Dewey. For consistency, however, the more commonly used nickname will be used here. (Do not confuse with the ''Daria'' fan artist known as [[Beatnik Shaggy]].)
Shaggy appears in the very first ''Daria'' episode, "[[Esteemsters]]," at the back of the small group of new students that [[Principal Li]] is showing around [[Lawndale High]]. [[Daria]] and [[Quinn]] are at the front of the group. This implies that he, too, was a new student and beginning 10th grade there. 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 on the trip to the [[Mall of the Millennium]] in "[[Malled]]."
Shaggy has a curious place in the lore of this fandom, as various episodes appear to show him doing impossible or at least unlikely things. He appears in two places at one time in "[[The Invitation]]" and "[[This Year's Model]]," and is shown in a flashback at least three years earlier at a [[Lawndale High]] football game, watching [[Tommy Sherman]] play, in "[[The Misery Chick]]." (Several other background students also appear in the shot, none so clearly as he.) In "[[Groped by an Angel]]," he is seen sitting at a table with [[the Three Js]] listening to [[Quinn]] talk about her guardian angel, which is unusual because Quinn is shown in other episodes (e.g., "[[The New Kid]]") to be very particular about who sits at a lunch table with her.
