Tuesday Text Topic: Style Mimic (Patreon)

I've been having a lot of fun in recent months doing expansion and TF work in old toon styles. And, I think had some success at it, too!
It's.. just fun. Maybe it's a little nostalgic for an episode that never existed anywhere but in your head, maybe it's because it's transgressive, bringing characters into kink that was originally earmarked for us when we were kids. I don't know.
What I do know is I think I'm going to take that into February. The new comics I'm doing are really time intensive, but the toon stuff goes much quicker (less shading, usually :) ) so I'm going to be shifting focus on Wednesdays to Toon Expansions and TFs.
In the comments below, please let me know your favorite traditional toons from your youth (or now). You should comment only on shows with simple designs, with adult characters (they need to be coded adult). Lastly, sorry folks, no anime. It's not that I'm against it, but I spend too much time getting the style right, which is defeating the purpose of the promotion.)
Great examples would be shows on Cartoon Network, The various Disney Channels, Kids WB, etc. And remember, I'm going to be doing them in the style of the show, so don't list characters without the show they're on (Wonder Woman has been done in myriad styles, some that aren't eligible. But Super Friends from the 80's? Maybe... :) )
No poll on this one, I'm going to be hand picking. A lot of it has to do with what I can find for animation background art online. These characters need to stand on something. :)
Okay. List shows below. I'm not sure if you can put live links in the comments (probably not) but feel free to place a link after listing the character, the show, and why you love them! (I'll copy paste the link if nothing else).
There'll be a channel on Discord as well, if you'd like to post there.
Thanks! Happy Tuesday, here's to a great February!
