— Having already considered the Trix Rabbit, it is only fair that we also consider the Nesquik Bunny, wondering perhaps which one might win in a Deadliest Warrior deathmatch…
…now Nesquik is a milk flavoring mix developed in the U.S. in 1948, and introduced there as Nestle Quik. The name was changed to the worldwide brand Nesquik in 1999. In 1973, the Quik Bunny, an anthropomorphic rabbit, was introduced as the product mascot, originally sporting a large red “Q” on him which was changed to an “N” in 1998 when the brand name changed. The nickname of said rabbit is Quiky, and he has endured as the product mascot for over 35 years.
I guess I somewhat prefer the Trix Rabbit as he is slightly pitiful and pathetic, seldom getting the cereal that he yearns for whereas the Quik Bunny always gets his chocolate milk fix. Quiky seems to be somewhat more metaphysical, lately urging consumers to “come to your happy place.” –and just where might that be, hmmm? 😉
— His 50th birthday has quietly come and gone, and I’ll bet that you didn’t buy him anything, either, what with famous people dropping like flies lately and hogging the spotlight…he’s the Trix Rabbit, an anthropomorphic cartoon rabbit and the oldest commercial mascot to continue to exist on television! Now Trix cereal by General Mills has been on the market since 1954, but the Trix Rabbit was created on August 
— Believe it or not, there appears to be a live-action Aquaman movie in the works, with the star yet undecided! Aquaman has come a long way since his rather insipid portrayal as a whale-summoner in old ‘toon shows like 
— Disney stuff is usually too mainstream and white breadish for me, but I have to love Perry the Platypus, pet of the title characters in the Disney Channel show, Phineas and Ferb. Unknown to his owners, Perry (aka “Agent P”) lives a parallel life as a secret agent for The Agency, a government organization of animal spies. Pretending to be a mindless house pet, Perry is secretly a fedora-wearing secret agent who enjoys romance soap operas and potato chips.

–Chad Carpenter’s comic strip Tundra has been around since late 1991, but has just recently found publication in newspapers in my area. The comic usually deals with wildlife, nature, and outdoor life, and was named best newpaper panel of 2007 by the National Cartoonists Society, also receiving the Reuben Award in 2008. 
—The Cartoon Network tends to be a mixed bag, with some decent ‘toons and some better left forgotten. A cute, funny, and very viewable series that didn’t originate there is Skunk Fu, featuring a panda kung fu master and a variety of martial-arts trained anthropomorphic animals. Skunk is a likable, spunky title character given to laziness at times and seeking shortcuts. Vulpines are well-represented by Fox, a vixen who is quite graceful and alluring
