Welcome to #CheckIn for MONDAY, 2025-07-28
Growing up there were so many cartoon animals! Newspaper comics strips, cartoons, animated features: Krazy Kat, Pogo, Snoopy, Marmaduke, Garfield, Opus, and more! Did you have a favourite when you were a kid? Do you have a favourite now? Who makes you smile just thinking about them? Bugs Bunny was my first love, but I must say that Totoro is my adult crush.
Today’s topic is suggested by @Muse but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.

Then Ren and Stimpy as a young adult.
Oh, and it's sad to see Tom Lehrer passed, but by golly it was great having him.

in reply to CheckIn Posting • •Among Donald Duck and his extended family, Snoopy and Der Superpiep, Garfield was a favourite. The German long title included the phrase "fat, lazy and philosophical". Also, Lasagna! (I noticed I could look up that word I had not heard before, 4th grader me found something related in a dictionary, but adults were sorta out of their wits to explain what it really meant. More reasons to peruse the library. I owe Garfield.)
Today, very Japanese/Taiwanese characters get the spot. Bugcat capoo, Jian Tu (the rabbit), Cony and Brown are a favourite, kawaii to the get no even when they are crying. They live here as two hand-sized plushies, and measure the space that being friends, lovers and the full range of togetherness can fill.

in reply to CheckIn Posting • • •I watched (and still watch occasionally) Bugs Bunny and the whole Looney Tunes gang. I love Scooby Doo (my cats are named Daphne and Velma). My all-time favorites, though, were Snoopy and Woodstock. I also dedicated my master's thesis to Bill the Cat. ACK THPPFFT!

in reply to CheckIn Posting • • •I've always liked Bugs... hard to say if he was my "favorite" as a kid, but has grown to be as I aged, for reasons I have only recently started to grasp.
It's been fun to unpack the grownup themes from Looney Tunes over the years, too.

Now I like anything by Miyazaki, and most anime in general. Totoro is a particular favorite.
