Dangermouse, yes mate! Scooby-Doo fair enough. Never heard of the others, tho'. And where in all the seven hells is Samurai Jack? Also, a certain cookie-loving mania-eyed monster is missing.

They should have done 5 per decade to address different generations. I can't be arsed to think up 30 cartoon characters, like, but it would be interesting to see how they've changed.
