He also wants to know what happened to the pictures he was supposed to see this week!
Casey Kasem (born Kemal Amin Kasem, April 27, 1932 - June 15, 2014) was an American voice actor. Among other roles, he was best known as the original voice of Shaggy Rogers from the Scooby-Doo franchise, Robin from Superfriends, Merry Brandybuck from Return of the King, and Alexander Cabot III from Josie and the Pussycats. He also had some kind of radio show or something. Chances are you've heard of it.
He really hated it when up-tempo numbers preceded dedications to dead pets. He also hated offensive stereotypes.
In June 2014, Kasem passed away due to complications from Lewy body dementia.

Notes[]
- Mr. Kasem left the original Transformers cartoon during production of the third-season episode "Thief in the Night" because of its depiction of the highly stereotypical Abdul Fakkadi as dictator of made-up Arab state Carbombya.[1] Kasem's family is Lebanese Druze, which is not quite Arab, but zoinks.
- In deference to Mr. Kasem, Dr. Arkeville should be assumed to be a vegetarian. I don't think we have to worry about the Autobots.
