Question of the Week (April 3rd - 9th) -- Cartoon Character

Unread post by JazzyCat » Sat Apr 02, 2011 8:39 pm

Question of the week!

Here is a way to get to know one another a bit without getting too personal or taking too much time. I will ask a new question every Sunday. Post your response to the question and visit again throughout the week to comment on others’ responses as well.
To get things started, I will always answer the question when I post.

All players that answer the question will get a small gift of thanks from me. At the least: a hug, some food items, and some drink items.

This week's question:

Who is/ are your favorite cartoon characters?

This is actually a tough one for me because I really am a kid at heart. I like many cartoon characters!

Tigger is way up there because he is just so bouncy and nothing gets him down. Also, my hubby is very much a Tigger kind of guy.

Mickey Mouse is just cool! I have always liked Mickey. For 8th grade graduation I got a 3 foot Mickey stuffed animal that I kept well into adulthood. I also still use Mickey Mouse pillowcases.

Clearly Bart Simpson (The Simpsons) is an idol, Huey Freeman (The Boondocks) is an example of awesome, and since Jazzy is clearly bent on Disney characters, lets go with Stitch (Lilo & Stitch) and Abu (Aladdin Franchise). Oh and before I forget, Wimpy (Popeye The Sailor) is by far one of my favorites, a man after my own coronary. ;)

When I was a kid, I always like Donald Duck. Sometime around high school, the tv show Ducktales started and I loved it!

Two obvious ones here for me, Homer Simpson and Eric Cartman for various reasons. The former because he's such a very simple man - a complete idiot with a heart of gold and a brain of poop. I dunno, I just like him. The latter because... well, mostly because I can do the voice LOL.

Now screw you guys, I'm going home.

D'oh!

If characters from comic strips are considered cartoon characters, then I would go with Calvin & Hobbes. Probably the character most similar to myself that I have ever come across. Limitless imagination, inanimate object as a best friend, drives his parents completely bonkers, and is extremely witty with a pompous smart-assness to him. Looking back on it, it could probably be said that it was a bad influence on me. Oh well, still my favorite.

Oh yeah, back to the Disney theme, I absolutely adore Simba. He is so sweet and innocent and yet strong. Great combination.

Hmmm, there are so many to choose from. Let me think . . .

Firstly, there's Ginko from Mushi-shi. He's a mysterious character with the ability to see mushi, beings in touch with the essence of life. His travels through Japan make him an interesting character overall.
I must give props to Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. His outlaw past caught up to him, and it was a great story to watch.

I was never a fan of spike, Edward was always the best character, her quirkiness was a much needed addition to the story.

And since Haman went and brought in more adult-esce(not pr0nesce) cartoons, I also would like to bring up my love for Stogie(Mission Hill). That dog will eat anything... And infact has eaten an entire couch. I <3 Stogie!

Oh, I like Dogbert (Dilbert) as well. Cunning and Dastardly. A deadly combert.

Goliath from Gargoyles is my favorite. xD
Gargoyles was an interesting series. When I rewatched it a while ago, I was actually a bit surprised that it was from Disney.

Iroh from Avatar: The Last Airbender is a close second.
