Favorite 'toons?

[PalmettoB]

A thread going over on SRP got me thinking about favorite cartoon characters.

So what are some of yours? I'm thinking mainly TV here, but a newspaper strip favorite would be okay, too.

Mine? Easy...Warner Brothers. Bugs, Daffy, Foghorn Leghorn. Also the Pink Panther.

Favorite news strip? Beetle Bailey and Peanuts.

News strip = Bloom County, Calvin & Hobbs, Pearls before Swine, Get Fuzzy.

Speaking of Cartoons......

Disney announced that they will digitally remove all smoking references from all their movies. Am I the only one that finds that the most ridiculous thing. Cruella DeVille not smoking that long thing cigarette?......come on....its like we are living in a Police State or something.

That is ridiculous. Police nanny state. What are they going to do, have her chomping on a celery stick while she discusses killing puppies to make a fur coat? "Yes, it is a bit dark in theme, but at least she's eating healthy!"

TOONS

Vintage
Popeye
Betty Boop
Early Daffy Duck before he switched to Whiny Annoying Duck, sometime just after the "Oh Sesame" cartoon (Daffy hugging the pearl as the oyster closes on him...my last "late" DD fond memory)
Bugs Bunny before he became Groucho Marx Lite Bunny

OK, I'm hyperventilating. Time to move on.

Modern
I define modern as the point after Daffy Duck turned to Whiny Annoying Duck. :D

Ren and Stimpy
Spongebob Squarepants
Aqua Teen Hunger Force...I feel guilty for admitting I like this crazy show, but there you are
Tom Goes To The Mayor...this is admittedly stretching the definition of "toon" very far indeed
The Simpsons, not for the quality of the animation (except for their movie), but for the humour
Futurama
King of the Hill
Fairly Odd Parents...a kid's show that puts in enough humour for adults to get the reference and enjoy as well

Hmm...can anyone tell I like toons a lot? :rofl

[TraderJoe]

Tom & Jerry

[Smedley]

And for the real fanatics...

All off John K's blog (http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/). Love him or hate him, Mr. K. certainly revitalized animation with Ren & Stimpy.

OK, I'll shut up now. :shocked002

I grew up on a steady diet of Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, Speed Racer, and Looney Tunes. Depending on the time of day, I was usually consuming something by Captain Crunch or the Hostess company.

Another Johnny Quest fan. I bought the DVD collection. I wish they'd come out with one for Space Ghost.

[murchmb]

It's amazing how well Johnny Quest holds up, even today. I have the DVD collection as well.
