About
Velma Holding Daphne at Gunpoint or Velma Pointing Gun at Daphne is an exploitable comic panel depicting a criminal dressed as Velma from a 1970s Scooby-Doo⦠Where Are You! comic holding a gun up to Daphne and the rest of the gang as if about to shoot them. The comic, titled "Double Trouble," was originally published in 1976 and first went viral online in the mid-2010s, becoming the subject of memes throughout the 2020s where Velma's speech bubble is altered to depict Velma threatening Daphne.

In the comic, a group of bank robbers impersonates the Mystery Inc. gang by dressing as them. In one panel, a robber dressed as Velma kidnaps the rest of the gang, holding a gun up to Daphne (shown below).
