flydayfyve. Name your top five cartoon characters, tell us what show they're from and why you picked them:
1. Yosemite Sam. Looney Tunes. The toons he stars in are consistently funny--I don't think there's a dud in the bunch. I almost pee myself everytime I watch Sahara Hare. "When I say whoa, I mean whoa!"
2. Probably a toss-up between Daffy Duck and Foghorn Leghorn. Looney Tunes. Pompous, arrongant, overbearing birds. What's not to love?
3. I feel I should move on from the Looney Tunes franchise, so I'll say Bullwinkle J. Moose. Why do nearly all modern cartoon makers choose to make toons that appeal to a single demographic? Rocky & Bullwinkle can appeal to any age group (note the "can" there--I've shown my videos to some people and received blank stares and a noticable chilliness towards me afterwards).
4. Although the question asks for a single character, I'm having problems picking out a single character from the Simpsons. Sorry. But dude, the show's been in production for over 10 years. It's funny.
5. For nostalgia's sake, I'll throw in Courage the Cowardly Dog. I loved this show in its first couple seasons, but after that the art changed to a much more heavily computerized animation style and the storylines went downhill. Sad. I don't watch it anymore but I still remember the early episodes with great fondness.

1. Bugs Bunny. Trickster god par-excellance, little bit of Loki, little bit of Coyote, a whole lot of Damn the Man. Bugs is the ultimate working person's hero.
2. Bullwinkle J. Moose. "Hey Rocky, watch while I pull a rabbit out of this hat!" Rrrraawwrr! "Musta got the wrong hat!" What more needs to be said?
3. Eeyore. No one has to wonder too much at this. He represents the other half of the duality represented by...
4. Tigger. When I'm not meditating on how awful pretty much everything seems to be...
5. Do they gotta be cartoons? I mean, what about Kermit? Or Grover? As Superpope, I hereby declare, Ex Purgidra that the Muppets are a kind of cartoon. There.
