Velma Dinkley Comes Out
After years of speculation, the Scooby-Doo canon has finally made it official: Velma Dinkley, Mystery Inc.’s resident bookworm and turtleneck enthusiast, is into girls. And even Google knows that’s worth celebrating.
Google Celebrates Velma
Google also got into the spirit, putting a WLW twist on their Pride Month confetti Easter egg. If you search Velma’s name on Google, you’ll be greeted by a shower of lesbian Pride flags and Progress flags on the results page.

Velma Gets Her Own Series
The knee sock queen is also getting her own, darker-and-edgier animated prequel series on HBO Max, Velma, created by Mindy Kaling. The network is unveiling a first look at the series at New York Comic-Con this week. Hopefully Kaling had a heads up about Ms. Dinkley’s big news, because she’ll definitely be asked about it.
