Cartoon Dads (Patreon)

For my next video, I want to explore the way that fathers and father-figures are characterised in animation.
While fathers in real life are nuanced and complex because, you know, they're human - naturally animated characters tend to be simplified (or over-simplified) versions of their general architypes so it makes for a neat way to see how the dads are conveyed according to different generations. From the boomers to the millennials.
I'm currently researching and writing but what are your most notable dad-characters? They can be flawless fathers, decent daddies with some weird or annoying quirks, and/or the straight-up bad-dads.
