30669, non-human cartoon characters who are 'black'
Posted by 3 dots, Wed Sep-21-05 10:36 PM
So I'm laughing with a friend of mine about cartoons from our childhood and I ask her if she thought of Panthro from the Thundercats as being black like I did. She's like, 'of course!' and brings up the fact that he's bald, plus the whole 'Panther' connection, which I totally never thought of.

So I wanna know- who are some other non-human cartoon characters who, for some reason, you consider to be 'black' and what makes you think so?

The only other I can think of at the moment is Rolf from the Muppet Babies. It was his voice, plus the brown fur (most animals with dark colors- bears, crows- make me think this). In some cases, I think it's intentional on the creator's part, but I could be totally off.
