Can we all just take a second to appreciate the background art of the 1969 Scooby-Doo cartoons? 

Easily the most inspirational artwork from my childhood right here. 

I think this scene from the cartoon is what inspired my recent nostalgia for the Money Island computer game I wrote about in my webcomic.

Who did these background paintings?

I wrote a post about the artist Walter Peregoy who did the background artwork for the series over on my pop-culture roadshow blog.

Some of the things I learned about the artist

• He had a modernist 50s style
• Designed the 101 dalmatians cartoon look
• Was an artist for one of the Liquid Television cartoons on MTV
