Well, presumably this is just a bit different. Just a bit, though. 😉

I’m sure there are plenty of characters, but the ones that come to mind right now are:  
1.) Dot from the Animaniacs  
2.) Bucky from the Cartoon strip “Get Fuzzy”

There’s just a know-it-all clown in me raging to get out, and someday she will suceed. 😃

Ahh…I would have to pick Daria because she has a bone collection like mine, and is a patron of the anatomical anomalies gift shop.

I would like to be her because she’s better at all the snappy comebacks than I am.

But have any of you thought that being a cartoon character has its drawbacks? You would look pretty creepy walking down the street, and people would scream in terror.

I had a dream once where I was making out with Charlie Brown and it was no fun at all. Kissing a cartoon character felt like kissing a glob of wet paint.
