Listography - Cartoon Characters From My Youth

Another enjoyable subject to get us thinking over at Kate Takes 5 blog for this weeks Listography.  Specifically cartoons, I am excited to think back and reminisce a time when life was more simpler and the only worries I had was hoping Mum was not putting onions in the dinner again!  Here is my list of cartoon characters  that stand out for me from my chidhood:

1:   Tom and Jerry - I was not a hge fan but I remember my Dad putting this cartoon on and he was more of a child about it than I was,laughing his head off at the ridiculous scenarios the famous cat and mouse put themselves into!

2:  Tasmanian Devil - Every Saturday morning, probably during SM:TV Live they would show the Looney Tunes and I particularly remember enjoying this crazy cartoon character, that splattered and spun around in front of my eyes!


3:  Stop It and Tidy Up! - Not many people remember this cartoon, voiced by Sir Terry Wogan, and I cant remember when it was shown but it was a favourite of mine, and thouroughly enjoyed the opening credits where these strange characters would represent some type of behaviour!

4:  RaggyDolls - Im sure Joanna Lumley voiced one of these characters!  I loved this programme!

5:  Mutley - Another cartoon that my Dad introuduced me to was Wacky Races and he does a great impression of the famous laugh this dog does!

Ahhhh, that was fun!  Now pop over to Kates blog to see others' entries and to join in yourself!

  5. Tom and Jerry are favourites of my boys now, it is timeless. I put Wacky Races on my list but was also addicted to Dastardly and Muttley - I loved Muttley
