A Bad Month for Cartoon Characters

I already knew about SpongeBob, but it's a tough break for Dora — she won't like where she'll be exploring next. I don't have much sympathy for Richie Rich — at least he hasn't gone the Casper route yet. As for Little Orphan Annie, she had since 1924. It was time.

First You Get The Money, Then You Get The Mountain

I want to go to Mount Chrushmore, take me, take me, take me, take me now! Now, now, now, now, now!

Who's to say that the U.S. wouldn't have been better served by Daddy Warbucks, Richie Rich, Rich Uncle Pennybags and Montgomery Burns? We know that it is really the wealthy that rule the world. That and the Freemasons.  (Mount Chrushmore via Shirtoid)

Casper the Disturbingly-Friendly Ghost

I always thought Casper was a little too friendly. Of course I've always agreed with Bart and Lisa Simpson's theory:

Bart:  Well, you know what I think?  I think Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich.
Lisa:  Hey, they do look alike!
Bart:  Wonder how Richie died.
Lisa:  Perhaps he realized how hollow the pursuit of money really is and took his own life.
