Childhood CARTOON Memories

[Rik]

There were, of course, many great cartoons when I was a child.
Wacky Races was one, amongst many others that I liked.
Such as; Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Superman, and many other great cartoons.

Wacky Races wasn't necessarily my most favourite, but there were so many other characters in the cartoon, Like The Ant Hill Mob, and Professor Pat Pending, and The Slag Brothers, and Peter perfect... and others!

So, I thought I would do a bit of a drawing, and share it with all the TG members.

If you want to draw one of your favourites, and share it with us, feel free to post your drawing in this thread.
Show us what you grew up with.

Spot on rendition! Now could you do a full length cartoon film?

Spot on rendition! Now could you do a full length cartoon film?

The short answer is 'no'.
The long answer is 'nooooooooooooo'

More my teen years and later but Walt Kelly's POGO is my all time favorite. Pogo lives in the Okefenokee Swamp in the deep south. Kelly's drawings were exquisite and his humor was both sill such as the attached, and could be bitingly satirical as when he portrayed Lyndon Banes Johnson as a long horn steer. Decon Mushrat, an ultra-conservative person's dialog is in Old English. Great characters and imagination.

@Gary ~ First time I've encountered this, I must have had a sheltered life. It evokes mid-century America, doesn't it?

I first posted this back in 2009, when the copyright expired. I thought it could use another airing.

Thanks for fixing my fum pa Rik. That kind of thing and misspelling(not that I am a good speller anyway) seems to be a curse lately.

This cartoon character is not actually from my childhood, but as I've never grownup I thought it might still count here.

Patrick Star is from the relatively recent SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon series created by Stephen Hillenburg. Monthly viewing figures indicated that at its peak, out of the 50 million people who regularly watched the show, 20 million were adults! That makes feel a whole lot better!

I traced this picture using the clever draw and [big] nudge technique that one of the Gary’s (Gary Priester or Gary Bouton) invented.

much as I love and admire the two Gary's I wouldn't go so far as to say this was 'invented', rather disseminated as a 'trick of the trade'; and it's a good one, well worth pointing out
