AND NOW let’s get our beaks wet with the lowest scoring entry Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy!
The whole wet my beak thing is one of my favorite phrases, always fun to say. I just wanna wet my beak a little bit. I like to say it like Robert DeNiro or something. It is said in Godfather 2, but by some other actor not DeNiro.

I loved the early Mutts strips, and had the first couple of collections, but it lost steam for me later (whether that was because it was repeating itself or the jokes just weren't as funny) but for a spell there, I loved it. It had a colorful cast of characters and I liked the simple sketchy art.
So I had them, Bambi and Caesar (#21) on my list from this group. I didn't have any Aristocats (forgot all about them), so it's cool Cole got (at least) one from that flick on here.
Ugh! These look simple but it takes like an hour for each entry. I'll try to do one more before I split for the weekend. (#41 is a ten-way tie...groannnn)One thing you want to be careful about is that after a while you might be logged out of the forum and lose ALL progress, so be careful to copy or cut everything to your computer's clipboard before you try posting something.
Falkor only made it to #46?!YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Thumbs up to PsychoGoatee for Jiji!
I was toying with the idea of an all-cat top 25, but wound up filling just a 3rd of the list with kitties.... including the great Snowbell. Happy to see someone remembered Kiki's favorite feline.
All told, with all these ties, this is shaping up to be the Hall of Fame of talking animals.
I am proud... SO proud that I managed to get three characters from South Park on this list. ;D
Never knew that frog had a name: Michigan J. FrogDammit!! That reminds me!! I forgot to put
Never knew that frog had a name: Michigan J. FrogThe frog didn't have an official name until 1995. Warner Bros was launching their WB Network and wanted a mascot, but found out they couldn't use most of their Looney Tunes and DC characters because they were licenced as official mascots to Six Flags. So they went through all of their minor characters they didn't license off, and the only one that was both well known and not racially offensive was the frog from One Froggy Evening. Prior to that the frog had been called Enrico during the 60s. Chuck Jones claimed to have given it the alternative nickname The Michigan Frog in the 70s because one of the songs it sang was the Michigan Rag. When Warner Bros decided the frog would need an official name if it was to be the WB mascot, so chose Michigan J Frog. The irony was the whole purpose of the character was that it only sang in front of one guy, and only croaked whenever he tried to show anyone else his singing frog. But as a WB mascot, it would be singing and talking to millions of viewers.

The amazing thing about these lists is one consistent thing... the number 1 spot almost always goes to someone nobody could have possibly predicted. I think in the history of all these lists, nobody I've selected as my number one pick has ever had the LOC top spot.

That’s why I said almost always! :)The amazing thing about these lists is one consistent thing... the number 1 spot almost always goes to someone nobody could have possibly predicted.Really? I'm not sure that's true

It's why the 30-10 spots are usually the most interesting to me.

Foghorn is among my favourite Looney Tunes. He's an obnoxious overbearing jerk and he is hilarious. I also feel like a lot of John Goodman characters in Coen Brothers movies are basically a version of him.
He does kind of feel like Woody Woodpecker sometimes (just less annoying). I think what make Foghorn work is that the shorts usually don't show him to be an altogether good character, they are critical of his actions. Even when he is trying to help other characters, like Henery Hawk, the audience is often on the side of the characters being annoyed at his obliviousness.Foghorn is among my favourite Looney Tunes.

During the writeup I read somewhere that Foghorn is a uniquely anarchistic character in Warner Bros cartoons because despite being the protagonist he's the one who always initiates conflict.

Foghorn once spent an entire cartoon trying to murder a child. Good thing he had his feathers numbered.

I remember that one hahaha!! That's the one where he tries to woo the mother of a little eggbert chickenhawk right? I love Foghorn so much now. GOD DAMN me for not voting for him.

AH-HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh god...that SO funny my sides hurt. Am i a bad person?
Yeah, I watched the three Foghorn cartoons with Eggbert in them last night. They were hilarious! And he wasn't trying to kill him in them. Just buffoonishly trying to get him to do "manly" sports instead of being bookish. Growing up as a timid nerd I can relate.Foghorn once spent an entire cartoon trying to murder a child.

Wasn't the chickenhawk, because the mother was a chicken. Probably was called Eggbert thought. Sort of like a Young Sheldon chick. At one point Foghorn threw a ball into the middle of a busy highway and said "Get the ball kid".
Daffy Duck could be an asshole as well. Spent more than one cartoon trying to murder Bugs Bunny.
EDIT
Wasn't able to check this until I arrived back at home, but we are remembering four cartoons merged as one. Henry Hawk was the name of the baby chicken hawk who was always trying to capture Foghorn. Eggbert was the nerd who first appeared in Little Boy Boo, but Foghorn doesn't try to kill him. He wants to marry the widow Prissy, and she asks him to befriend her son Eggbert first. The one where he is trying to kill the kid is A Broken Leghorn, where the other chickens are mocking Prissy for not having a child. Feeling sorry for her, Foghorn steals an egg from another nest and puts it in hers. The egg hatches and it is a baby rooster, ( no official name ) which Foghorn spends the rest of the cartoon trying to kill. The one where he blows all of his feathers off is where he is fighting the dog again.

I'll have to watch A Broken Leghorn tonight after work.
When I was a kid they used to show hours and hours of cartoons, old and new - and I'd sit through them, every day after school, even though I didn't really like them. Because most of the characters were assholes who did violence on one another. I especially disliked Looney Tunes, didn't find them funny, didn't like Blanc's voice. Still, I'd sit through them.
They also showed a lot of Tom and Jerry, I must have seen every T&J toon made from the 40s to the 60s. There was Popeye, Woody Woodpecker, oh, and Chilly Willy (which sounds like the punch-line of a dirty joke). I can't remember if he talked.

Looney Tunes cartoons definitely have an edge. They age well IMO if not only for endlessly repeated viewings.
I love the old black and white Popeyes. I have my DVR set to record them from Turner Classic Movies. I recently saw the one where Wimpy disguised himself as Popeye's double to finagle hamburgers from Olive Oyl. Awesome stuff. No talking animals unfortunately.

You quoted me as I was editing, but yeah. I've come to like them (Tunes) more as an adult than I did as a kid.
Popeye, I remember sometimes they called his foe Bluto and sometimes Brutus - as a youngin' that confused me (why does he have 2 names. Or are they different characters, like twin brothers?) My poor child brain. lol
And there are talking animals in the Popeye cartoons. Mostly parrots, but most notably Betty Boop, who is actually a dog.

Pinky and the Brain
(Pinky and the Brain) #7 ColeStratton, #7 Johnny Unusual, #8 linszoid, #10 stethacantus, #15 Pak-Man
https://www.youtube.com/v/nhpGALWoQiM
Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice who reside in a cage in the Acme Labs research facility. Brain is self-centered and scheming, while Pinky is good-natured but feebleminded.
In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world which ultimately ends in failure: usually due to Pinky's idiocy, the impossibility of Brain's plan, Brain's own arrogance or overconfidence, or just circumstances beyond their control.
The Brain is voiced by Maurice LaMarche (of Futurama fame) and looks and sounds a little like Orson Welles. He seems coldly unemotional, speaking in a snarky deadpan.
Pinky is voiced by Rob Paulsen (of TMNT fame) and is a genetically modified mouse who shares the same cage as Brain at Acme Labs. Pinky is an extremely unstable and hyperactive mouse. He has several verbal tics, such as "Narf", "Zort", "Poit" and "Troz" the last of which he started saying after noticing it was "Zort" in the mirror.
The series uses the work of many of the same voice actors for Animaniacs including Tress MacNeille, Jess Harnell, Frank Welker, Nancy Cartwright, Janet Waldo and Jeff Bennett. Celebrities such as Roddy McDowall, Nora Dunn, Townsend Coleman, Ernest Borgnine, Eric Idle, Dick Clark, Ed McMahon, Steve Allen, Joyce Brothers, Gavin MacLeod, John Tesh, Michael McKean, Garry Marshall, Mark Hamill, James Belushi and Steven Spielberg have all performed guest voice work for the series as well.
"Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world!"
For Pinky & The Brain fans, I leave you with this, which I pimped Moe & Rob out to do a few years ago and it went semi-viral..

Send someone to fetch us, we're in Sasketchewan!
I wonder if someone bet Paul Williams he couldn't put Sasketchewan in a song.
I liked Ren and Stimpy for a time... then it got WAY too gross for me, and remember I'm somebody who really loves South Park.
So No Rollergator?
I love Bugs bunny... but he's too much of a smartass for my taste.
Thanks for hosting F-Zero!!!
yw, yw. It was my pleasure.
I had only a single entry that didn't make it, Opus. Surprised nobody else voted for him.
Advice to anyone who hosts; keep your writeups short; nobody really reads them. A few times I put in stuff just to see. I wrote something fucked up for Timon & Pumba and for Ren & Stimpy I pasted a block of text from the REO Speedwagon wiki and nobody noticed.
I watched SOOO many cartoons in the last 20 days haha. It was fun.
Just curious if anyone ever heard of Mickey Rat before this LOC?

I have and had some familiarity with underground comix back in the 70s -Crumb, Pekar, Armstrong, so I was aware of Mickey.
As for write-ups, I read what I'm interested in, and when hosting, I write for those who might be - and I write for myself. I went back not long ago and re-read all the old Twilight Zone LoC entries, and went through the Westerns list again. Both were fun reads. But yeah, while I read several entries here, I skipped Ren & Stimpy for example, because I don't have an interest in them, never liked 'em. It just depends on how into the subject I am (for the Beatles - I read pretty much every line)
You know what I like about the impeachment hearings? Talking humans. I've had my fill of puppets and cartoons for a while.No, the Republicans are all puppets.
