The 100 Greatest Cartoon Characters of all Time

My choices, at least, for the greatest of all time should I say. Many of these characters would appear on most lists of this type and many would not. You may notice the absence of a multitude of the more modern 'toon characters but that's my choice; the majority of them and the shows that they appear on truly do not impress me. I'll leave them to a younger generation and stick with the classics that I've known and loved for decades.

Maybe this list will bring back some fond memories for some as it has for me. I had fun compiling it.
