![]() Here are my Favorite Cartoons from My Childrens’ Childhood:ġ. Bart had to write on the blackboard! Lisa was a genius! Maggie never said anything! Marge’s hair was almost as high as mine (it was the 80s)! Homer liked Duff beer, playing hooky, and trying to strangle Bart. When it became a series in its own right, I would watch it at my boyfriend’s house. The Simpsons: I remember when this show first appeared as a weird little sketch on the Tracy Ullman show. Always there when you need him and ready to save the day. ![]() Plus I loved their cat costumes! This cartoon is probably tied with Sabrina the Teenage Witch and The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, two more cartoons that celebrated smart, funny young women. Josie and the Pussycats: This girl band rocked my world long before the Bangles or the Go Gos. Ricochet Rabbit: Bing, bing, bing! It’s Richochet Rabbit! Best sheriff ever, and you didn’t have to sit through a convoluted, hours-long mystery/Western show to get through it.Ĥ. He’s an ever livin’ doll in a monkey suit!” I wanted to adopt him then, and I still want to adopt him now.ģ. He’s real, he’s a deal, and he’s awfully cute. Won’t you buy him? Take him home and try him? Gorilla for Sale. Magilla Gorilla: Come on, sing it with me: “We’ve got a gorilla for sale. If you can’t find the silver linings in these cartoons, you’re just not looking hard enough.Ģ. Coyote never gave up, despite multiple contusions and probably head traumas. Tweety Bird became more confident thanks to her ability to see Puddy Tats (Pussy Cats, for the uninformed) when no one else did. Porky Pig got through life despite his stutter. But look at their problem solving abilities! Bugs Bunny managed to not get eaten on any number of occasions. Yes, there were moments of sheer meanness. Looney Tunes: who among us of a certain age has sat through an entire episode without laughing? Yes, there was violence. Here are my Favorite Cartoons from Back in the Day:ġ. This was a huge selling point for me, since I had so many brothers who enjoyed helping me fall…a lot! Coyote (Super Genius), The Road Runner, Tweety Bird, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, The Tasmanian Devil, and lots of others helped me develop a sense of humor, a love of sarcasm, and the ability to see pratfalls as the funniest things on earth. Nothing makes me teleport back to my childhood faster than a great cartoon.
