Had an interesting conversation the other day on AIM with Suey about cartoons and cartoon characters. I had picked Daffy Duck as my AIM icon image, since I sort of identify with him – he’s always trying too hard, and he’s often frustrated by it. I love Bugs and want to be like him, but I’m just not him – I’m more Daffy. I could never be as cool and collected and in control as Bugs. The same in the Pooh universe: I so want to be Tigger, but I’m not – I’m Eeyore. Which cartoon characters do you most identify with?

Bugs sucks. Stick with Daffy.
I identify most with Spongebob Squarepants, because I too live in a pineapple under the sea.
Oh, and I finally figured out what cartoon character I identify with.
Stimpy.
Eeyore. Oh, yeah. I keep a stuffed one (Gund “classic” style) on my monitor, to remind me when I’m immediately responding to things in a knee-jerk negative fashion.
Oh my God! Are you my shadow self? I wrote my college application essay on why I always liked ducks better than other creatures in cartoons because they were always under the shadow of rabbits and mice and stuff…
oh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
how amazing! I am in the middle of writing my leftie post today and here you are posting your cartoon entry! How thoroughly inspirational we are 🙂
and I am Piglit from WtP and Blossom from the Powerpuff Girls.
kd, when I first read Kevin’s comment I thought it was from you
I remember Suey asking me this one. I am both Tigger from WtP, and also Raphael from the Ninja Turtles.
Also to second Suey, kd, I remember reading you mention who lives in a pineapple… and though that Kevin’s comment was from you.
I mostly identify with Pooh himself. I have my Eeyore moments, however.
Maybe I could use this strange identity that I seem to have established to my benefit. hmmm *stroking chin*
I also identify with Wiley Coyote at times, but don’t we all?
my mum and dad still call me eeyore and I’m ….30 years old….
