This-or-That Tuesday: Summer Re-run!:
1. Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck?

Daffy Duck. Oh, yes, Bugs was day-in and day-out more consistent, but when Daffy was at his best he was sublime. Duck Dodgers; Robin Hood; and alone on a white background. And the sheer audacity of removing Bugs' drag disguise in front of Elmer!
2. Tom or Jerry?

Tom. It wasn't always his fault.

3. Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck?

Mickey Mouse. Donald is a one-note character at best, only funny when he fails. The Mouse is the Man.

4. Rocky & Bullwinkle or Boris & Natasha?

Rocky & Bullwinkle. Although it is Boris and Natasha that give the show a spine, it is Rocky and Bullwinkle that give it heart.

5. Road Runner or Wile E. Coyote?

Wile E. Coyote. Unlike the Road Runner, there's not a shred of cruelty or viciousness in him. He just wants to eat.

6. Sylvester or Tweety?

Sylvester. His best moments are without Tweety (a handful of 'toons in which he's Porky's silent, terrified pet). After seven minutes of Tweety's annoying voice I'm ready to shoot him myself.

7. Popeye or Bluto?

Popeye.

8. South Park or The Simpsons?

The Simpsons.

9. Jetsons or Flintstones?

Jetsons.

10. And finally, the eternal question asked by all good Scooby-Doo fans: Velma or Daphne?

Oh, Velma!
