I don't agree with half of them on the list, but who am I to judge.  ::)

Not a Smurf or a Flintstone either?

I'd say yes to No.1 but I do have a HUGE problem with Tom & Jerry not being ranked MUCH HIGHER!

Does cartoon characters also mean comic?
If so where is Calvin and Hobbes?

Good to see my avatar come in 8th.

Beavis & Butthead ranked #4?  How can they outrank (is that a word?) legends like Snoopy,Fred and Barney, Woody or even Cartman?  And where the hell is Dick Dastardly and Muttly? :)

Yeah, I wanna know what the criteria are.  I can't even see Homer being nearly that high.  In fact, all the top 10 should easily be old-timers IMHO.  Tom & Jerry only 50?  Gimme a break!!  Mickey only 19?

Also, what's the deal w/combining characters?  Why "Fred&Barney" and "Tom&Jerry" anyway?  They should all be separate.  I'd put Wilma in there too, BTW.  Not to mention more WB Merrie Melodies (aka Bugs cohorts for the amnesiacs) characters!

Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale shouldn't even be in there, IMO.  :P

the real mystery, is who Bill refers to.. is it Bill as in "I'm Just a Bill" Schoolhouse Rock, or is it Bill the Cat? etc.

It's the "I'm just a bill" from "Schoolhouse Rock."  I don't think they ever made a cartoon out of "Bloom County," though…

I vaguelly remember a Bloom County cartoon with Milo and the gang, but it was a one-off special type of thing, not a full blown movie or TV series.. strange they didn't just list Schoolhouse Rock, since I thought as a whole it was more influential than just one particluar short..

They missed out Stewie from Family Guy?? That can't be right! When he takes over the world there'll be some questions to be answered, that's for sure...

Come to think of it, Lois should get a mention for being so damn gorgeous!

Signed a guy who doesn't get out enough. :-[
