My Favorite Cartoons

I'm sure we all have a favorite cartoon that sticks in our mind from our childhood. Kids today have no idea what cartoons are suppose to be like. I wonder when the kids from today grow up, will one of their favorite cartoons be Sponge Bob? That is not what cartoons are suppose to be like.

I remember Foghorn Leghorn:



Foghorn would say, "Looky here son, I say looky here..." He was always trying to get the best of the Barnyard Dawg. Usually the dog took a spanking to the rear-end, then almost choked himself as he chased Foghorn to the end of his rope. I don't believe there was a 'winner' in the cartoon, but rather who got the best joke, the chicken or the dog.

PePe Le Pew was another classic:



PePe was the smelly skunk who was in love with the black cat. Of course, the black cat could not get past the smell of the skunk, but hearing the French accent of the skunk was funny stuff. I doubt I really knew what he was talking about as he was romancing the cat, but it was still funny to watch the cat squirm out of the smelly arms of the skunk.

The Road Runner and Wile E Coyote would have to be, at least, in the top 3 of everybody's favorite cartoon. The money Wile E spent on the Acme Corporation products to catch the Road Runner (beep, beep). He could have owned the company, but probably still not out-smarted the Road Runner!




Then good ole Yogi and Boo Boo:



Yogi was "smarter than the average bear" and was always trying to find a 'pic-a-nic' basket. Ranger Smith was always one step ahead of him and Boo Boo would often warn Yogi, but he wouldn't listen. "Hello Mr Ranger, sir!"

Some of these cartoons can be seen on cable re-runs, but most of the good ones are long gone. I showed Patrick some of Foghorn Leghorn cartoons on youtube the other day. It was funny to see them again, but even more funny to sit and hear Patrick laugh at the good cartoons!
