I've Dreamed For Quite A While Of There Being A Professor Layton And Scooby-Doo Crossover In A Similar

I've dreamed for quite a while of there being a Professor Layton and Scooby-Doo crossover in a similar vein to Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, so I finally decided to try to draw Layton-style designs for the gang.

Not sure what the hypothetical story would be, but I sort of like the idea of it being set after Unwound Future with Luke and Layton investigating multiple mysterious incidents in their town, and inspiring them to form their own mystery-solving group (perhaps partially in a competitive way, with them trying to solve the mysteries first?). Mostly I just think it would be fun to throw the characters together and have them interact though, since both franchises involve 60's aesthetics, supposed supernatural activity, rubber masks, and talking to dogs.

Featuring how I would characterize the Scooby gang even in a non-crossover context in the form of Layton-style character profiles.
