Indexer Notes
New story.
GOOD BIT: Mr. Guggenheim, the museum curator, is shocked at the sight of the walking mummy:
GUGGENHEIM: "A l-living m-mummy? It -- it's not p-possible!"
VELMA: "Actually, with our track record, I'm surprised it didn't happen SOONER!"
References abound: The museum curator, Whitney Guggenheim, is named after two New York City museums: The Whitney and the Guggenheim. North Dakota Smith = Indiana Jones. King Tookoolforskool = King Tutankhamun (aka King Tut).

Indexer Notes
Fred's trademark red/orange ascot is colored blue in one panel (page three, panel 4).
Scooby-Doo is uncharacteristically brave, and even aggressive, in this story - charging and snapping at the ghost as a real dog might.
GREAT BIT: Emily Cook was also a high school history teacher for Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma, leading to this exchange:
EMILY 1: "It hasn't been so long since you graduated, but you don't look like you've changed at all."
EMILY 2: "And, Shaggy, you don't look like you've changed your CLOTHES at all, either!"
SHAGGY (reaching into his pocket): "I guess you're right. Look, it's my old HALL PASS!"

Indexer Notes
A sort of hybrid of a comic story and an activity page. Page one and 2 of the 3 panels of page two read as a comic story with Scooby and Shaggy on the trail of a runaway mummy whose bandages are unravelling as it flees.
Panel two of page two is an "activity" panel with the following instructions: "Can you help Shaggy trace the length of the mummy's bandages from the mummy to Scooby-Doo, so that he can unravel this mess?"
As was somewhat common of the Scooby-Doo (DC, 1997 series) title of the time (from which this story is reprinted), a maze puzzle is inserted into the story.
