The Single most likeable, important, or...WHATEVER? cartoon character ever created..

[Stuart G]

For me it is the one & only Wiley E. Coyote...Why? He never gives up and is very funny.

[rurallib]

1. Bugs Bunny!

[Stuart G]

2. Bugs is my number 2 or 3..not sure which, but I will let you know later..

I got a whole lot of others , it is necessary to say!

[mopinko]

14. did you know that bugs was based on buster keaton?

clowns arent born, they're reincarnated.

[rurallib]

19. had heard that.

[mopinko]

21. at ringling college, they teach the cartoons.

there's lots and lots of clowns based on cartoons.

[Auggie]

16. Yep. Bugs Bunny.

A tip of the hat to the folks behind Bugs' most memorable appearances, too: Directors Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, and Chuck Jones, and actor Mel Blanc.

[Coventina]

3. Scooby Doo for me!!

[LakeArenal]

4. In The category of "whatever" : Mr Burns.

[Stuart G]

5. OK...I didn't know who Mr. Burns is...but I found it on the internet.

Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber "Monty" Burns, usually referred to as Mr. Burns, Monty, or C. Montgomery Burns, is a recurring character and antagonist in the animated television series The Simpsons, voiced initially by Christopher Collins and currently by Harry Shearer.

25. Wasn't "Schicklgruber" Adolph Hitler's birth name?

[malthaussen]

33. No.

Maternal grandmother, IIRC.

6. I have to give a shout out to

Stewey from Family Guy and Roger from American Dad.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. Foghorn Leghorn

[Jade Fox]

27. +1

[LNM]

30. My Dad used to quote him!

"Listen to me when I'm talkin' to ya boy". I'm a girl.

[Funtatlaguy]

31. I say, I say, I say...

[Biophilic]

8. For me personally, Crusader Rabbit and Rags the Tiger.

Many tense moments as we worked the TV rabbit ears trying to bring the station in at least half way clear prior to show time. Only a few people know about Crusader Rabbit (he wasn't on national TV), but he was truly cool and what a role model.

[Stuart G]

10. I forgot about Crusader Rabbit, very important on my list..which is getting longer & longer. & Rags.

[Squeaky41]

13. June Foray

One voice. I have DVD of all Crusader Rabbit shows. audio was slightly distorted on original shows. First watched about 5:55 in Maine in 1953?.

[Biophilic]

15. Seriously? You have DVD of Crusader Rabbit shows? WOW.

I'm not sure how old I was. It was probably late 40s and early 50s. We had to get the show out of Toledo Ohio which was out of our regular viewing area, but if we tweaked the rabbit ears just right on the TV we could see what was happening. Even with the poor picture quality it one of our favorite shows.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

23. I had the pleasure of meeting June Foray

on many occasions. She and my father were both on the Motion Picture Academy's documentary screening committee.

Once she did her Rocket J. Squirrel voice for me (to my obvious delight). She also did Natasha (of Boris and Natasha), Nell Fenwick, and a much of others.

Very nice woman. Made Nixon's "enemies list," which endeared her to me even more.

[Jade Fox]

28. Wow, Nixon's Enemies List

What did she do to make that prestigious roster?

[Just A Box Of Rain]

29. I'm not sure. My dad told me, way back when.

That's when I had to push past my natural inclination not to bother famous people and introduce myself.

[mucifer]

9. Bullwinkle J Moose. He's my mentor. Which would explain a few things...

[targetpractice]

17. Your mentor? At Wossomotta U.?

Bullwinkle & Rocky was a very smart and funny cartoon.

[CloudWatcher]

22. +1000

A major regret was not buying a lot more at the Dudley Do-Right Emporium when I visited it.

[OLDMDDEM]

11. Snoopy.

[wnylib]

32. Mine, too, along with Rocky the Squirrel

Both tie for first place with me.

But I credit Jiminy Cricket for getting me through childhood without doing something too foolish or reckless. Still remember his song.

"I'm no fool, no siree
I'm going to live to be a hundred and three
I play safe for you and me
'Cause I'm no fool."

[Walleye]

12. Pinky of "Pinky and the Brain".

[Wolf Frankula]

18. Cecil the Sea sick Sea Serpent.

He never abandoned his friends. But also I have to add Bullwinkle, Rocky, Bugs Bunny and that American War Hero, Snoopy.

Wolf

[Emile]

20. The Tasmanian Devil

[Earth-shine]

24. Bugs Bunny and his Warner Bros ilk (Daffy, Foghorn, the Martian, Pepe, Wiley)

but probably not Porky.

[frogmarch]

26. Bugs Bunny because

his personality reminded me of my dear and very cool Uncle Al. Still does.

[lastlib]

34. His product-liability lawsuit against Acme alone is enough......

...to secure his place in history. An epic landmark in law AND cartoon history!
