“Killer” (or as his mom would say “Kee-lah”), the vulture in the Bugs Bunny cartoons aways made me piss my pants.

“I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee.  
Won’t my momma be so pround of me…”

Now that’s funny.

I’d say Daffy Duck. That little chickenhawk is pretty hilarious too, IMO. I’m awful fond of Marc Anthony, the bull dog too, but I’d have to say he’s not “Hilarious”. Neither is Bugs, Wiley or Foghorn.

“You’re a chicken… see? And I’m a chickenhawk!”

I forgot about Marc Antony. The faces he makes while the kitten is trying to get comfortable on his back are hilarious.

I just love the Devil from Cow & Chicken. He’s also on I Am Weasel. His big red ass and pointy little tail crack me up.

It’s BULLWINKLE! While not all of the political satire survives, the basic jokes are timeless and brilliant. One classic bit:

ROCKY: But they’re girls! What kind of game can you play with girls!?!

BULLWINKLE: I guess this is a kid’s show after all!

Homer J. Simpson and The Tick are in a class by themselves. Special note should be given to The Evil Midnight Bomber.

## Along with the other WB characters I have to cast a vote for Foghorn Leghorn. That boy could talk! And I haven’t seen Yosemite Sam on the list – he’s certainly a contender.

Point of inquiry: Are “Freakazoid” and/or “Earthworm Jim” shown anymore? If so, I may just have to start watching Kid’s WB again! 🙂

Goofy. I can remember sitting with my family watching Goofy cartoons on Wonderful World of Disney with tears running down our faces because we were laughing so hard.

For a one-shot: Max in “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. The first time I saw the sleigh segment I seriously wondered if I was going to be able to catch my breath or if I was just going to keep laughing until I passed out.

Ok funniest characters.  
lets see.

Bullwinkle J. Moose  
Homer J. Simpsons  
Rocket J. Squirrel  
That Futurama robot.  
Daffy Duck  
Ralph Wiggum  
Well, I don’t know any of their names, but lots of the guys from Dr. Katz are funny.  
Same sentiment for that show Science Court, that used to be on ABC saturday mornings, god I loved that show.

Not sure if they’re on the WB, but I’ve seen Freakazoid on Cartoon Network…

They’re a team. You can’t break them up. Like Laurle & Hardy.  
Like May West & W.C. Fields  
Like Tom Sewyr & Huckleberry Finn  
Like, like I’m like out of here. Thhatts all folks.

Brak from “Cartoon Planet” on the Cartoon Network. You just have to watch it to appreciate him, there’s not a chance I could explain him.

For those of you not familiar, see [http://multihome.www.desert.net/redmeat/](http://multihome.www.desert.net/redmeat/) . Check out the Meat Locker for past strips. This guy is seriously warped. My favorite one is [http://multihome.www.desert.net/redmeat/comics/rm\_336.htmlx](http://multihome.www.desert.net/redmeat/comics/rm_336.htmlx)

As for cartoons, all of the Jay Ward cartoons have the same warped sence of humar. I was always partial to Super Chicken, but Bulwinkle is the one everyone remembers. By the way, my russian blue cat is named Natassia, and my dalmation is named Boris.
