Hero’s to Zero’s…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite cartoon?

Even though I don’t watch cartoons, nor have I for some years now, I will still attempt to answer the prompt this morning!

The only answers I have within my mental arsenal come from a good many seasons ago, so they look much different than they did back in the day.

Apparently, age has not been so kind to them…

Bugs Bunny was quite the athlete, what with all the popping in and out of all those rabbit holes…

But, it seems that time and too many carrots have done their work…

My only other favorite cartoons from the past were basically Disney productions, so they’re movies instead of cartoons, but this is my blog and I can do what I want!

Of all the classics to choose from, I will say that Robin Hood was, and still is, one of my all time favorite Cartoon‘s, if you will! Robin Hood was such a hero of the downtrodden, as well as, an adept tree swinger and lady charmer…

One can hardly recognize the fox he is today… what with Maid Marian running away with the Sherriff, some years after they moved away from Sherwood Forrest…

I have come to the determination that it’s better to keep my favorite cartoon character’s memory alive, rather than focusing on the harsh realities of most hero’s lives… after the cartoon is over!

Anyways, wanna cookie?

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Quite honestly, there isn’t a single cartoon of late that I would take the time to watch.

Were I to think of any cartoon worth mentioning, it would have to come from the past… that’s where all the good shows are! I have to admit that I would even prefer to return to the 60’s commercials… at least I wasn’t offended by most of them!

I even miss the comics on the back of cereal boxes or jokes inside the box of Cracker Jacks! Remember the little tattoos inside the Bazooka Bubble Gum?

Maybe it isn’t the cartoon at all that I fondly remember as my fav, but rather, sitting in my pajamas on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal… half watching the cartoon and half reading the puzzle on the back of my cereal box.

I loved Bugs Bunny, obviously, but my favorites might have been Johnny Quest, The Wonder Twins and Scooby Doo. I did really enjoy watching Granny try to wrangle Sylvester, Tweetie, and Hector the Bulldog. Let’s face it… there are too many awesome cartoon characters for me to remember.

Too bad the prompt question didn’t ask what my favorite cartoon time was… I could have saved us all a lot of time and just said CHILDHOOD!
