This is one of the deep conspiracies of the cartoon world. Why is Lola drawn so much differently than Bugs?

THE INFAMOUS CARTOON Southpark is entering it's fifth season of mayhem. This inspired a heated debate over what is the best cartoon ever. After the dust settled this is the list that survived:
10) Smurfs- The childhood cartoon that was filled with miniture blue uhh... smurfs. Everyone has seen this bizzare yet uplifting show
9) Sponge Bob Square Pants- A small yellow piece of foam that recently exploded in popularity. His face is appearing on everything from boxers to bowling balls. Bob, a character that lives in the sea, experiences crazy adventures with his underwater pals. Even older audiences will find the bizarre humor funny; it seems as if either a genius or mental patient created this cartoon.
8) Batman- We all remember from our younger days the caped crusader who kept Gotham City safe. With an arsenal of cool gadgets, the best being the Batmobile, he kicked bad guy butt. The Batcave is also the coolest hideout in superhero history. This cartoon also spun off into a series of major motion pictures.
7) Scooby Doo- Yet another memorable cartoon from our childhood days. Whocould forget Scooby and Shaggy's antics as they searched for the same evil villain in the same haunted house week after week, only to have Fred unmask the monster at the end of each episode? Their comic capers will go down in history as a model of how to create a great cartoon.
6) Popeye- This little spinach eating man with his stick thin girlfriend Olive Oil is a classic. The old black and white versions have been around since 1929. One of the most unlikely heroes, Popeye has found himself in many a jam, only to pop open a can of spinach and prevail time and time again.
5) Loony Toons- Everything from Bugs Bunny to Wyle E. Coyote falls in this category. Warner Brothers hit the jackpot when they created this slew of characters, which have entertained America for years, as well as being marketed all over the world.
4) Flintstones- As first cartoon to ever be in primetime, the Flintstones set a precedent for a new generation of cartoons. It would not only entertain children, but adults as well, with a new style of comedy. Fred, Barney, Wilma, Betty, and Dino continue to entertain generation after generation.
3)Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- One of the most popular cartoons of the 90's. These pizza loving genetically altered turtles battled the evil Shredder with martial arts taught to them by their leader Splinter, a giant rat. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, the turtles, became an icon producing an action figure line that continues to this day, and three major motion pictures.
2) South Park- The foul mouth foursome known as Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and Stan has, for better or worse, undoubtedly changed cartoon history. Where else can you watch a towel get high, or Kenny die a hundred different ways? It has been the most controversial cartoon ever, with its nothing's sacred attitude. It launched a movie that was, of course, rated R. Few can't admit this cartoon is hilarious.
1) Simpsons- Who else could crown such a list? This dysfunctional family has entertained America for over a decade and shows no signs of stopping. Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Maggie along with the town of Springfield revolutionized the way cartoons are viewed. With humor geared more toward adults than children the show stormed primetime fox becoming one of the most popular shows ever. The show is everywhere from action figures to classes on college campuses. It is hands down the number one cartoon ever.
Interplanet Janet...
What about elbow room??? I loved that little ditty.
Cool, I'm trying to remember them all now. ;)
I know I will probably be stones to death for saying this but I think King of the Hill sucks. I do not find it even mildly amusing. Never even raises a dry smile.
Not cool. The classic Scooby Doo was the best!!
Lolly, lolly, lolly, get your adverbs here!
This is one of the deep conspiracies of the cartoon world. Why is Lola drawn so much differently than Bugs?
I sure do miss those....
Mandy Rulez!
I am not into those movies with the guest stars. Just the classic series.
What? You've never heard of the "Mattel and Mars Bar Quick-Energy Choc-O-Bot Hour?"
For shame, Pissant. For shame.
Pinky: "I think so, Brain, but why would anyone want to see Snow White and the Seven Samurai?"
Yep.....I say...I say.......he is a winner in my book.
