What’s your favorite cartoon?

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Without a doubt, Bugs Bunny, Tom and Jerry, and the old Jonny Quest.

Everything I know about opera on Jeopardy, I learned from Bugs. I like all of the Looney Tunes, especially when they break the new lines of political correctness. Road Runner/Coyote, Pepe’ Le Pew, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, all were better than anything on today. Who could forget Michigan J. Frog, a classic.

Here are the censored 11 they can’t show today

As for Tom and Jerry, the Tex Avery ones are clearly the best. Cat Fishin’, Touche’ Pussy Cat, Pecos Pest, and Spike and Tike are some of the better ones.

Only the original Jonny Quest shows were good. They were far ahead of their time and very creative. The Invisible Monster and the Robot Spy were two of my favorite episodes. After that, the series wasn’t very good. Later in life, I found them on Sunday morning. I’d do a wake and bake and enjoy my childhood all over.

A point of interest is that Tim Matheson is the original voice of Jonny. You may know him better as Otter in Animal House.

I even named one of my dogs Bandit after the cartoon. She was a boxer and is still in my blog, way back in the early years

One thought on “What’s your favorite cartoon?

  1. Yeah, purty much agree.

    My favorite ‘toons, however, are prob’ly Adam Schiff doing his one-trick-pony impersonation of a human . . . or Nancy Pelosi pretending to be a patriotic public servant . . . or Joe Biden waking up from his daily narcolepsy interlude and asking, “Who’s a ‘you crane’?”

    Damn, once I get into that mode, it gets kinda hard to stop . . . but I’d likely not run outta material ’til Saturday, and the wife’s hosting a holidays party here which’ll provide me with endless problems, workarounds, errands, and dodging the “Putangina!”s.

    Adobo, daing, pancit, lumpia, and those unsavory, indigestible, glutinous rice concoctions sapin-sapin, bibingka, and biko. I just hope wunnada guests brings a rotisserie chicken.
