jayce and the wheeled warriors
gummy bears
smurfs
classic spiderman and hercules

and of course G force battle of the planets

 

^^ G-Force was some badassedness

Well if my Driving record is any testament to the powers of the influence of media on early childhood social programming,,,

 

:rockon: and voiced by Mel Blanc. I cannot watch the new ones. My son does and i feel bad because he is growing up in this world where you cannot even drop an anvil on the Wil E Coyote without PETA getting involved

 

Felix the cat
Looney tunes (original)
MR.T, although brief
Scooby Doo with Scrappy, that is with a capital SPLAT
He Man
Transformers
GI Joe and his Kung Fu grip (Although in my teenage yrs I too had a kung fu grip, but not for bad guys)

Then came Nintendo and Sega ( still the best)

 

Although nowadays bugs will be covered under the LGBT group and ordered to wear a rainbow colored rabbit suit so as not to confuse the gender questioning folks out there.

Also in today's PC cartoons: The following has been submitted to the Supreme court of America:

Yosemite Sam gets indicted on gun charges

Sylvester is charged with attempted murder

Porky gets praised for his nudity

Elmer has PETA declaring him inhumane but He has backing from Ted Nugent

Lets not forget Butch the dog beating up on a helpless Sylvester so bullying charges have been laid and Butch has been subpoenaed in the Sylvester trial to prove physiological indecency on the part of Sylvester's insanity plea.

Just a days work in proving stupidity

 

Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn, etc.

I got older, but I still haven't grown up yet..

when i was little, i remember more the 'funny pages' in the newspaper, more then anything on tv. there was mutt and jeff, and dick tracy, with gadgets that were gosh wow then, that we've since gone several shades better and made obsolete. i actually sort of remember more ones that i didn't really care that much for there either. there was little nancy, the katsinjammer kids, dagwood, dennis the mennace, percilla's pop. even there the good stuff really didn't come along until i was a bit older. baby huey. pop oy and oylive was on the telebishion. i liked the instant transformation of physical strength by eating a can of spinich, i though that part was cool, but the rest of just seemed dumb and tediusly repetitive. watch mr wizzard wasn't a cartoon, but that WAS interesting. kookla fran and ollie, was live broadcast puppet show. as was howdy doody time. glarg. i DO remember those things. that was the kind of stuff that was on. prince valiant was in the funny papers too. it didn't make much sense to me, but travelling around the midevil and premideval world, visting strange places and getting into inexplicable situations doing so was interesting. then there was ally oop. kinda liked him. he hadn't actually been born before dynasaurs went extinct. he was an ordinary neaderthal, who just happened to run into some guy who had a time machine who sent him further back in time to before they did. i don't exactly remember the whole back story as to how or why this happened. mostly i think it was a what if fan service for people who liked the idea. i liked that he knew about technology stuff and wasn't entirely freeked out about it, but could survive without even what people of his own time had, or could figure out how to make whatever he really needed.

who else was around then? stupid man was. not on tv but in the sunday funnys. i'd have though more of him if i'd know more about his REAL origen. what he started out to be REALLY about. fighting right wing fanatacism before most people even had the words of either. but of course i was a little kid, and didn't really know much about that stuff then, just the lies we were taught in school, which by then, he had been toned down to not contradict with them.

bat man, the phantom, green lantern, those guys were around then, again in the papers, not yet on tv. especially the phantom, because he was something really different. tarzan was around then. in the funny papers first. then, he was one of the few who made it onto tv while i was still a kid. of course what i didn't know then, was that he'd been in movies even before i was born. i was born in 48, and i think the first tarzan movie, was made sometime around 1940, if not earlier. try'na think of who else was around back then. peanuts came along, i think i was already at least ten or 11 by then. ah but pogo. pogo the opossum and albert the aligator. 'things is tough all over, even in the swamps" and "we have met the enimy, and he is us". pogo was a commic, that was bound into a book. not like regular comic books that came later, but more like a trade paperback. the pogo peek a book. i remember that.

 

Pogo was awesome.
I never read as much of it as I should have,

My big strip was Bloom County.
(I keep forgetting to keep up with the 2015 version, but I've liked what I'e seen. Feels good to have the gang back.)
Anyway...

But as for cartoons, that's a hard one...
So many good ones.
For me it ranges from Saturday Morning Supercade to Thundercats and Transformers to Animaniacs...
I could go on forever.

I mean, I was still trying to make it home in time for good cartoons when I was in High School.
:lol:

 

thundercats, transformers beast wars, dynasaucers, all good, even pirates of dark water, dark wing duck, tail spin, i was just, already in my 20s and 30s before any of THEM came along. that's what i mean, there have been some good ones come and go. but all of them long after i was a kid. turns out groot and rocket were around when i was in high school, and dr strange, but i don't think i ever heard about them until at least a decade later. what i do remember from when i was in high school, was mad magazene. which soon had imitaters cracked and some other one. in my 20s i was into real, literary, science fiction, and then furry, when that spun off from it in the late 80s/early 90s. still into both of course. though like all things, their focus has drifted over time. i don't think television could ever do right what interests me if it wanted to, and it seldom seems to want to. once in a great while it comes close. b5 was good while it lasted. (but then it had real science fiction writers scripting it). in the early 80s there was something called elf quest, by wendy and richard pini. hence their warp logo (being the acronym of their initials) animaniacs, its hard for me to thing of them as being that long ago. that was already into the 90s i think. i'm sure there will be other good things come along. i mean, to be human is to have imagination and create. its just the good and the bad, all things come and go.

i don't think our age has that much to do with it, if its good its good, and whatever age in our lives something good comes along, it just does when it does. and if we're in our 20s or 50s or 100's even, we should live so long, to be still able to recognize something good, even when its totally unlike something we remember from our past, i think that's, the only way to not miss everything.

 

Ahhh, Elf Quest,,,, that was good stuff.

Haha remember Dungeons and Dragons

 

None of those really grabbed my attention until Calvin and Hobbes came out, though Peanuts did have some funny and insightful moments. I didn't get Dilbert at all until I'd had my first corporate job, and then I found it so accurate that sometimes it was hard to laugh.

 

Tom & Gerry.

Despite the insane violence, very funny.

 

I think Tom and Jerry was one of the first moral dilemas I found myself faced with as a Child.

On the one hand, Tom was always out to get Jerry so he initially appeared as the antagonist, but the more I watched, the more I realized what a little Dickbag Jerry was, playing on his "Cuteness" to garner sympathy, always pulling pranks on Tom just because he could get away with it.
And then of course the overly-moralistic Dog who for sake of Political correctness always stuck up for the little rat bastard who everyone was led to view as "the weaker creature" in need of defending regardless of his shenannigans,,,

No wonder there are so many screwed up people in the world,,

 

And if we're going to slide into Comic strips,,,

 

^^^
I highly recommend!!

When Superman got offed by Doomsday I started collecting those comics, but the twists and turns in the story were getting old, and I figured it a waste of money to continue collecting them. It soon seemed like an on purpose money pit to me.

On my way out the door of the comic book store for what I thought was the last time, I spotted Groo out of the corner of my eye.

I've been wanting to sell what I have of my D.O.Superman collection (and make a profit I hope).

But my Groo collection is not for sale.

 

Cartoons such as; Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, and Loony Tunes. To be honest, I wasn't a cartoon lover. My most watched and loved show was/is Pokémon.
