Need a cartoon character named "James" or "Jamie"...

Okay, here's an odd one...for my own eldritch reasons, I need to find a preexisting cartoon character—ANY cartoon character—named "James" or "Jamie." Who's human, preferably male; preferably from a setting like real-life Earth, and if the latter, preferably from modern day or not very far removed from it.

That should be good for a brain melter puzzler, if anyone's got some time to kill. 'Anyone able to help me out?

There was a British series called Jamie and the Magic Torch.

Here's an episode.

James Bond, Jr. seems to fit the bill more than adequately

The Pokemon character is probably the most well-known of the lot thus far.

There's a Jaime (Reyes, the current Blue Beetle, in Batman: The Brave and the Bold), but that's probably not close enough.

There's a scene in The Simpsons (from "Lisa's Date With Density", I believe) where, as I recall, Nelson Muntz says to "Jimbo" Jones: "Back off, JAMES!" Probably the only time the character was ever addressed or referenced as such.

Of course, the episode "Bart the Fink" says Jimbo's first name is Corky, so proceed at your own risk.

James Gordon, by contrast, has appeared in both that Batman cartoon and a bunch of others.
