Hawk, how could I forget my man Bullwinkle!!??
Or Popeye, for that matter?

Thanks for reminding me.

And thanks for the Betty Boop link too. That song is why Betty tops my all-time list of comic book characters.




Nigel,
OK, I stand corrected - sort of. But I don't really call someone (some entity) a "cartoon character" just because a cartoon has been spun off from them.   (I mean, should we think of all our fearless leaders as "cartoon characters" just because they are frequently the subject of political cartoons?

(Don't answer that.)


Anyway, I'm limiting my list to characters that BEGAN as cartoon characters (comic strips, animated cartoons, etc.)
