Drew, you named a lot of my favorites. You musta liked Ralph Bakshi's New Adventures of Mighty Mouse before the fundamentalists got it pulled. Going way back I also love the Fleischer Brothers...the Betty Boop cartoon "St. James's Infirmary" with the Cab Calloway soundtrack is an all-time favorite.
Everybody who named Pinky & the Brain - Narf! right back atcha.
Lightninbug: Roger Ramjet and his Eagles flying for our nation - god, that'll never leave my head.
But what about Cow and Chicken? And I Am Weasel? The Red Guy, how I love him. Ah-HA-ha....
I love almost everything Jay Ward ever did. Back in the early 80s I discovered a store in LA called Dudley Do-Right's Emporium. Then I found out Jay Ward Studios was right next door. The receptionist was nice but wouldn't let me see anything, kind of like when Bart went to Mad Magazine's office. The Emporium closed a few years after Ward passed away; it was only then I learned it was Mrs. Ward who had been behind the counter all that time. Sheesh! At least I got a pair of Boris Badenov earrings before it closed. But why oh why didn't I buy the Natasha pair as well? *still kicking self*
On the printed page I like alternative stuff like Tom Tomorrow, Red Meat and Life in Hell; mainstream, Mr. Boffo and Dilbert. In comix, Robert Crumb, Peter Bagge and Jim Woodring are among my favorites. Going way, way back, George Herriman's Krazy Kat daily strips; Cliff Sterritt's Polly and Her Pals; and anything by Windsor McKay, especially Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend - these are all visually entrancing, surreal
and funny. McKay created the first animated film, Gertie the Dinosaur, and that's wonderful too.
OMG, look how long I've gone on.

I um...I like cartoons.
