Who is your favorite cartoon character? – Asks the daily prompt.
Road Runner and Coyote / Bugs Bunny
I feel like I grew up in a great cartoon era. My favorites were The Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes Shows. The Road Runner Show and Flintstones were also favorites.
When I was really young, I think I remember one called Top Cat.
Cartoons in my youthful times helped me to laugh. They were such a contrast to real life.
Oh yeah, all those dials on the tv below were real. You had to get up to change the channel and volume. Or adjust brightness and contrast but those two knobs were only on the newer sets.
I ask for daily desk calendars usually for Xmas. The old Far Side ones are great and had me chuckling this morning. Anything that makes me laugh each day is great. I enjoy political cartoons and some of the older comic strips.
I’ll look at the daily comics occasionally and follow a few cartoonists online but it’s for the laugh. You have to laugh. And late in life, I’ve learned the more you know the more you can laugh at.
I loved watching Looney Tunes and Warner Brothers cartoons and still load the occasional YouTube clip to just sit in mindless enjoyment for a few minutes.
Sometimes I think someone could make a cartoon of some of my friends and my life. Just ask our wives, our logic is impeccable. Well maybe impeccably flawed most of the time but we make them laugh. And I mean we make them laugh hard sometimes. We are often called a bunch of characters by many. It’s certainly an animated group. Of course, the dialog boxes about the characters might not have enough room for all our banter.
But the important piece here is that you find something yourself, to help you smile, to elicit a laugh, to make you feel better.
I wrote this piece well before I took these photos, but I couldn’t resist combining two of my passions here.
