Most of these characters go back a while.

As a kid, I watched a lot of cartoons. Some of my favorites were Warner Brothers creations. Like most old guys, I think things were better when I was young, including cartoon characters.

Still, I have to admit some of the newer cartoons are funny. When I put together this list, I didn’t go for superheroes, instead, I went for characters I thought were funny. And here we go.

15: Pinky

Pinky, when teamed with the Brain, formed a dynamic comedy duo. I admit I haven’t watched them that much, but I want to watch them some more. Pinky’s, buddy, the Brain, aspires to world domination.

Though ostensibly not too bright, Pinky has shown signs of intelligence. As an easy-going sidekick to an unbalanced white mouse bent on world domination, Pinky comes at number 15.

14: Quick Draw McGraw

As a bumbling horse who goes up against bad guys, Quick Draw is generally bailed out by his sidekick, Baba Looey.

Quick Draw’s alter ego was El Kabong. El Kabong was a Zorro-like character who would swing in on a rope and conk bad guys over the head with an acoustic guitar.

13: Wile E Coyote

You probably don't know my name, but have likely seen my work. I've written for numerous syndicated cartoon strips and my gags have appeared in national pubs.
