He’s really more a puppet than a 'toon, but I submit for your consideration the **Snow Miser** from **The Year Without a Santa Claus**. His own brother, the **Heat Miser** (who strikes me as an angry, closeted type), calls him a “Tootie Fruity Snow Cone.” I love that show 🙂 ---

Ooooooooooo – a thread that makes fun of my one area of purely useless expertise 😛 I could name hundreds, but I’m supposed to pick just _one_?! How do I pick gayest? Kinsey-scale score? Flammibility? General fabulousness? Or just personal favourites? I’ll go with the last. But I can only narrow it down to a few, not just one. And that’s after we eliminate comic strip gay guys (Mik and Harley), lesbians (I’d like to put Utena on this list), and bisexual characters. Here we go (Japan first): [ul] [li] **Subaru Sumeragi** from _X/1999_ and _Tokyo Babylon_[/li][li] **Kaworu Nagisa** from _Evangelion_[/li][li] **Atsushi** from _Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteishiki_[/li][/ul] For Western animation – Waylan Smithers, Big Gay Al, and of course… …Will from _Will & Grace_ Oh come on – you’re hard pressed to find a more two-dimensional gay man than Will ---

Hel-lo! Gay. Gay. Gay. Bleach-blonde hair, scarf around his neck, he obviously takes working out very seriously, and he never hits on Daphne–Freddie is my vote for gayest cartoon character. ---

He and Matt from _Melrose Place_ could get together andm, well, do _absolutely nothing together_, except _be_ really nice guys, which is all they ever did. Let’s face it, Smithers has gotten more action than those two 😉 > [@](#): > > \*\* > And you’re being generous in allowing him at least a dimension more than the character shows… > \*\* True, but I guess something one-dimensional still qualifies as a cartoon, if it qualifies as anything. _Will & Grace_ ought to be written by CLAMP Studios in Japan. _Will & Grace – the YAOI Animé_. Then it would everything – angst, violence, incest, and the Christian Apocalypse, as well as – ohmigods – homoeroticism. **Jack:** (speaking Japanese with English subtitles) I’ve loved you from the moment I first met you. **Will:** Hah. You say that even though you know we’re destined to fight at the appointed time, the End of the World? 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Grace \* > \*\*I was thinking James from Pokemon. \*\* I’ll third James, but add that Team Rocket is the coolest group of bad guys since before Megatron turned into Spock. They are the only reason my head doesn’t explode when Pokemon is on. (like it does for all those rip offs, Cardcaptors or Knockoffamon or nemse to horrible to mention. Digimon is excluded because they always take 10 minutes before the show starts explaining everything that transpired with a guy who makes the Micro-Machines dude sound like he was talking slow, and i can never figure out if it is good because i am too confused) ---

Buttercup looks more interested in beating up boys than kissing them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chronos \* > Wait, you mean the Powerpuff Girl Buttercup? She’s a kindergartener, fercryinoutloud! She probably still thinks that boys have cooties! They’ve covered that, actually–caught the episode in the PPG marathon the other night. The girls were convinced one of the boys had cooties, and imagined all sorts of horrible consequences, like loosing their powers, if they were infected. Mojo used the boy to drive them off until the kid actually managed to kiss one of them. IIRC, Buttercup has kissed that kid and one of the Rowdy Ruff boys (which caused him to detonate). They aren’t really up to the competition in this thread, but I think the Goofy Gophers deserve at least a mention here. I’m afraid I have to vote for Him, though. Doesn’t he wear a tutu as well as the boots? Then there’s his aerobics outfit… ---

Buttercup, Velma, and Fred have all been “cleared”. Buttercup developed a crush on the leader of the Gangrene Gang. She’ll leave behind a trail of broken male hearts (and noses) when she comes of age. Mark my words. Velma has the hots for (the so Testosterone-laden it hurts) Johnny Bravo, and in the same episode the “they always split up so Fred and Daphne can go somewhere and make out” hypothesis is confirmed. But Fred, I think, is in deep _deep_ denial. ---
