12/20/24 second post

 



NOTES: Randy's interference went through a number of drafts, and was originally intended to be slotted in with Pee-Wee, Ricardo, and Cowboy Curtis outside decorating--this was also where they would run into the Scooby Gang. The first draft had him hanging onto the walls and setting firecrackers behind the decorations with the intention of lighting them so that they'd go off as soon as Pee-Wee lit the tree. The second draft had him setting up a fulcrum so that he could jump onto the beam and tip the tree over. The third and final draft, which you saw earlier, had him play "fetch" with Pterri to set up a Pavlovian reaction to chase the shiny disc. This last one stemmed from the idea that bullies always disrupt things by proxy so that they can get away scot-free. 

And Randy is, very briefly, the old Matchbox one! Nice little cameo to make him more dynamic-looking.
