I loved the old Popeyes.

It's difficult to find good violence like that in cartoons anymore. Nowadays all they do is try to teach good values. What's wrong with Popeye's values of eat your vegetables and might is right?

One of the unusual features of the early Popeye cartoons was that they were animated first, and the dialogue, mostly ad-libbed, was added after the fact. Mae Quesnel was the voice of both Olive Oyl and Betty Boop.

If you have access to the Moviola channel, they show really old cartoons (including Popeye). Some of them are so not PC it's no wonder they don't show them on mainstream t.v. these days. Case in point: I saw an episode of Gumby where he said he was afraid to go near these native Indians for fear he might get scalped!

Anything by Chuck Jones, but especially One Froggy Evening (1955). In fact, my other internet persona (mjfrog) is the star.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings

I also liked Woody Woodpecker

Do you mean the one with Wyle Coyote and the sheepdog is Ralph I think. All the Warner Bothers cartoons are great. Bugs Bunny, Foghorn Leghorn who kept his feathers numbered for emergencys, Yosemite Sam with my favorite lines "Dragons are so stupid" and "Somebody is getting footie prints all over my nice clean desert.
I can still watch hours of them

As mentioned, the old Popeye, early WB toons , and Mighty Mouse. Fantastic Four was pretty good.
