Top 5 Cartoon Characters of All-Time

In appreciation of all things drawn I thought it only appropriate to create a top 5 list to the cartoon world. Many people view cartoons as juvenile or useless, but I disagree. Not only can cartoons provide plenty of education and entertainment(as evidenced by my nephew Paul's repeated requests to watch Boundin'), but I think that cartoons might provide the best comedy on TV.(with the exception of Arrested Development and The Office). So here goes:

#1 Homer Jay Simpson: While the Doh! and pounding Duff's, are probably what Homer is best known for, he is extremely more complex then just the obvious stereotypes. Homer is a somewhat committed father, a semi-pious man(who has had numerous visitations from God), and an avid sportsman. Some classic Homer moments include: Homer in heaven telling Dean Martin that he wasted his talents, Homer tripping out on Chilean insanity peppers, and the best line of all occurred when Homer changed his name to Max Power(statement is directed at Marge), "Nobody snuggles with Max Power. You strap yourself in and feel the G's!"

#2 Stewie and Brian Griffin: First off what is more classic then a talking baby and a talking dog? Secondly, they improve on #1 by making the baby some sort of evil genius, and by making the dog superior intellectually then his owner. Could any other show on TV get away with lines like this, Stewie (to one of the prostitutes at Cleveland's house): "So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

#3 Bender: Originally I thought that Futurama was not very good, but as I watched the show it grew on me. What is more classic then a robot with serious attitude. Whoever, decided to pull this show made a huge mistake. In Bender's own words, "This is the worst kind of discrimination. The kind against me!"

#4 Jonny Quest: Is there anything more cool then a kid who runs around with his little Indian friend named Hadji, his little yappy dog(Bandit), and a random guy with grey hair named Race? Just one question, where was Jonny's dad during all this fun? I seem to remember him only appearing occasionally.

#5 Senor Cardgage: While technically not a cartoon in the TV sense, few things are funnier then this web-created cartoon. The creepy Strongbad lookalike with a beer-belly and a wicked combover has some of the funniest lines around. For those of you who don't know Senor, "Get a leg up on the pile and refinance your dreams!" http://homestarrunner.com/senormortgage.html
