Overture...Light the Lights

I'm lacking inspiration today, so once again I'm leaning on This-Or-That Tuesday to spark the brainbox and get a post up. The fact that it's all about cartoons is an added bonus.


1. Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?
Bugs Bunny, no doubt about it. Bugs is slick (remember that fire trick he did to impress Merlin?) and unflappable in the face of danger. Although his tendency to dress in drag does occasionally worry me, he's certainly far cooler than Daffy Duck, who is a spastic loser.
2. Tom or Jerry?
Tom all the way. Er, he is the cat, right? Because I always thought the mouse was insufferable and nasty.
3. Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?
Neither. I've always been a Looney Tunes kind of guy - Disney cartoons never did it for me. Plus, they were never on during Saturday mornings, when all good children watch cartoons.
4. Rocky & Bullwinkle or Boris & Natasha?
Neither again. I hated this show as a kid, and always fled the channel when it came on. Even Captain Bob was preferable.
5. Road Runner or Wile E. Coyote?
Wile E. Coyote ...Super Genius. How could you not root for Wile E. Coyote to finally catch the Road Runner? Rocket sleds, catapults, giant elastics..the poor bastard never gave up the hunt. A good lesson for kids.
6. Sylvester or Tweety?
Sylvester of course. See a pattern here? Somehow I was drawn to root for the underdog, the dude who just never quite made it..but kept coming back for more.
7. Popeye or Bluto?
Neither really. I have only the vaguest recollection of ever watching this toon as a kid.
8. South Park or The Simpsons?
The Simpsons. Because I don't have cable. And Monty Burns makes me scream with laughter.
9. Jetsons or Flintstones?
Flintstones, I guess. Hanna Barbara didn't do much for me either, for the most part.
10. And finally, the eternal question asked by all good Scooby-Doo fans: Velma or Daphne?
Hmmm, this is a difficult question. Daphne is definitely the hotter of the two - but she hangs with Fred who wears an ascot ferchrissake, so minus big points for that. Plus, she doesn't seem like the quickest mental draw in the Mystery Machine. Velma is a geeky know-it-all butshe's mellow enough to hang out with a hopeless stoner like Shaggy and she obviously likes dogs. So I suppose I'll go with Velma.
