    These three fellas have been getting us to by Rice Crispies for decades and have done a pretty darn good job of it. I don’t think they’ll be out of work any time soon.

    Aye, what a great collection! Did ye not git permission to portray The Brothers Rice (as they are officially called) or was it simply a fact of not finding them because their name is spelled with a “K” instead of a “C”: Rice Krispies, of course! Now, why didn’t Alfred E Neuman make the cut? He doesn’t do any *less* than Hello Kitty or a number of others who did make the grade! Also, any list of cartoon characters is remiss without Marvin the Martian. And what about the Keep On Truckin’ guys? They don’t have names, but everybody’s seen them, to be sure! From the same artist we have Mr Natural and Fkakey Foont, Fritz the Cat, and Devil Girl. (You’ll have to read the story about the creation of the latter yourselves,. as I don’t know y’all and it is racy.)

    I agree w/ those of you who say Woody Woodpecker should be there. He’s one of my favorite cartoon characters, though I don’t care much for the original Woody. That Woody’s pretty annoying! By the way why isn’t Woody Woodpecker as popular as Bugs Bunny! I understand people like Bugs so much because he’s so smart & Woody’s very smart too!

  49. Pri

    With Snoopy and Stewie (Family Guy) in the list…..it would have been perfect. Still….awesome collection! Brought back memories 🙂

  57. Stephen Rhodes Treadwell

    Your Comments It’s weird but this morning I found on google a list of smartest cartoon characters & Woody Woodpecker wasn’t on it! Why would that be? He’s definitely one of the smartest! Wile Coyote on the other hand was on the list & shouldn’t have been. He’s not very smart at all!

  64. alleycat

    Your Comments how about felix the cat and mr. magoo and gumbie and the canadian officer who saved the girl on the r/r. fighting that ugly vilan ?

  66. agent2468

  67. katie

    Well, I don’t know if I completely agree with the order but there wasn’t a single unrecognizable character on the list so good job.

  77. josileen

    i love tom and jerry i am proud to be famous with that cartoon other than
    spiderman n superman my brother say no monkey can touch
    TOM N JERRY

  80. richie

    I’m glad Snoopy’s not on the list, He wasn’t that great and funny I don’t think otherwise I found him annoying first and then I could not even stand him at all at last.

  83. earthy

    Calvin and Hobbes first love for sure, Jughead a close second. I love that Jughead rarely ever has his eyes open. Creative genius, I think.

  87. gr8 cartoons

    Kids are really missing out all kids care about now are video games, T.V. shows with explosions and lasers, and electronics. Mine won’t even go outside and we have a huge tree for climbing a basketball hoop and a swimming pool what more could you need!

    How could you not include SpongeBob?!
    Other than that major omission, the list was great 🙂 Especially love Calvin and Hobbes and the pic you have is adorable 😀

  98. Hempy

    You forgot Stewie, SpongeBob, Finn the Human, Jake the Dog, Peter, Patrick, Phineas, Ferb, Perry, and thats all you forgot.

    I am only 14 and I recognized all but one of those characters. I am amazed at how many cartoon characters I knew, it all comes down to having a grandpa and a dad who were (and still are) addicted to cartoons. And my dad being an artist, has a book of cartoon characters that you can be thought how to draw. I love cartoons and will continue loving them.
