If you think you know cartoons--not just comics, but television animation as well--this book will put you to the test!

I never have been all that familiar with many of the cartoons mentioned here, and some of the ones I know very well only got one or two questions. Plus, many of the superheroes mentioned here aren't just 'toons anymore; I got many of the DC and Marvel ones right by being familiar with the recent live-action movies.

Plus, at least one question I know to be factually wrong. Scrappy is Scooby's nephew, not his son!

Still, this was good for what it was, even if many of the questions went over my head.

I only got 488 out of 1,061. I knew the super hero stuff, but I don't know much about comic strips. My lack of knowledge about Gasoline Alley, Blondie, Beetle Bailey, etc. proved to be my downfall.
