Has anyone picked up the latest issue of Wizard? It lists the 100 =
greatest=20
cartoons. I was very disappointed to see some of my most favorite =
cartoons=20
are listed in the last 25 (ranked 75-100). But as a kid of the 80's, =
I guess=20
I should expect my favorites to come in last. However, what I am very =
disappointed in and what I wanted to share with you all is this: my =
all time=20
favorite cartoon, "Garfield and Friends" didn't even make the list! =
After=20
reading the list, what do the rest of you think?=20
