I used to love Spiderman in the comic books. I should have saved the issue that had him sticking his finger while sewing up a rip in the spider suit. This never happened to Mr. Perfect Superman.
I assume you mean TV cartoons.
I loved the Hanna Barberra block of cartoons that featured Huckleberry Hound, Quickdraw McGraw, Yogi Bear, Yacky Doodle, Pixie and Dixie. Also liked the Flintstones, Duck Tales. I liked the movie films of Looney Tunes, but not so much the TV productions. Also Donald Duck in movies only.

@roger,
Yeah, he made mistakes just like a regular guy. This is a great part of his appeal.

One thing-As a child you never realize how violent some cartoons are and looking back it's hard to understand why you didn't notice.
You are so right. The older cartoons from the 1960s and 1970s were extremely violent, but they were really funny to watch. Tom and Jerry, Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, Foghorn Leghorn, Yosemite Sam, Popeye, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny. Elmer Fudd, Speedy Gonzales were all very funny and violent. Back then, we watch the cartoon violence in the way you would watch slap stick comedy. Those older cartoons would not have been funny if it weren't for the slap stick comedy from the violence.
Wile E. Coyote could never catch the roadrunner. I never understood why he continued to buy those ACME brand roadrunner traps. They never worked and he always ended up being seriously injured.
Here's a SPOOF of Wile E Coyote if he had one day actually killed the roadrunner.

After reading this thread, I went to Youtube and found a bunch of Deputy Dawg and Quick Draw McGraw cartoons. My wife heard me laughing immoderately and came to see why (She rolled her eyes). After that I kept talking like Muskie and she had to tell me to stop. I also kept saying "Now hooooooold on a cotton pickin' minute!" like Quick Draw (the hoooooold is neighed like a horse, naturally). This infuriated her even more. For years she has hated me talking like Booboo and Yogi, especially Booboo.

Crusader Rabbit

My favorite was also the Bullwinkle and Rocky series of cartoons. I just loved those.
Quote:
Produced by Jay Ward Productions, the series is structured as a variety show, with the main feature being the serialized adventures of the two title characters, the anthropomorphic moose Bullwinkle and flying squirrel Rocky. The main adversaries in most of their adventures are the Russian-like spies Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale. Supporting segments include Dudley Do-Right (a parody of old-time melodrama), Peabody's Improbable History (a dog and his pet boy Sherman traveling through time), and Fractured Fairy Tales (classic fairy tales retold in comic fashion), among others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_and_Bullwinkle_Show

@Real Music,
YES, the Wave Motion Gun. If Anime is fair game, Robotech was amazing, so much that as an adult I got the original Macross series in Japanese with subtitles.

When I first started watching TV, Crusader Rabbit, with his tiger buddy named Rags, was on in serial episodes that lasted five minutes per day, on week days. The animation was minimal, more primitive than Hanna Barberra cartoons.

I think it should be noted that, early on, some shows opted for puppets instead of cartoons. Not just Howdy Doody. There was the like of Fearless Fosdick (string puppets), Beanie and Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent (hand puppets), Kukla Fran and Ollie.
