Depressed cartoon characters?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you know of any cartoon characters that are depressed or just plain emo? I can think of a few:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eeyore (Winnie The Pooh) (This one should be pretty obvious)
Hardy Har Har (Lippy The Lion & Hardy Har Har) (Poor, poor hyena...)
Pedro (Excel Saga) (NOOOOOOO!! !! !!)
Marvin The Paranoid Android (Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy) (Not a cartoon, but I couldn't resist adding him!)
Charlie Brown (Good greif!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marvin the Martian
Kiff Kroger
Penfold (OK, not depressed, but DEFINATELY an anxiety disorder...)

Droopy

Most Gundam heros (Amuro, Camille, etc, granted Camille had good reason to be depressed, the whole parents dying thing kinda does that to you, Amuro was just a baby though)
Shinji Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion (he seems to me to be like many aspies get around high school with the whole Porcipine Dilema thing)
Chuckie Finster, maybe not depressed but defientally weird


hmmm I will have to think of some others.

...Joe Btsfplk (that's how it was spelled) , in old , American , comic strip LIL' ABNER , by Al Capp .
He traveled around with a black cloud literally over his head at all times .
deniskitchen.com has a button for sale of Btfsplk ( Actually drawn by Frank Frazetta from when he was a ghost/assistant to Capp ! ) , if you want to see .........

It was the Hedgehog's Dilemma, actually, re Shinji Ikari.

While not actually a cartoon character (hey, someone included Marvin the Paranoid Android), sometimes, the Doctor from Doctor Who gets depressed or sullen, especially during the new series, although there is an excellent example in the first episode of Pyramids of Mars (the Doctor talks about going back to Earth, and how he wants to get on with his travels), as well as the second episode of "The Two Doctors" (in a monologue, the Doctor, expecting the Universe to collapse after hearing of dangerous time experiments, laments the loss of all life).

Obvious one here: Daria

Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto)

Hinata Hyuga (Naruto)

Sad Sack (Bo-bobo)

Carl (Aqua Teen Hunger Force)

Roger (American Dad!)

Moe Szislak in later episodes of The Simpsons

Ed Elric (FMA)
Shinji Ikari (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
Rei Ayanami (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Bill Dauterive from King of the Hill.

Tim

Batman

Toot (Drawn Together)

Toot sounds like a textbook bipolar.

As does Numbah 3 (the Asian girl) from Codename: Kids Next Door.

Tim

Oscar the Grouch (ok -- a puppet not a cartoon character but anyway...)
The Magic Pudding (Australian)
Grumpy from "Snow White"
Emily from "Corpse Bride"

Definitely Droopy Dog.
