Play the TV Cartoons of the ’60s Crossword

When you look at all the wonderful cartoons in this crossword, it really is amazing how fresh and vibrant the characters still feel to us. A lot of these animated people are just as iconic as the real-life, flesh-and-blood actors and actresses we’ve grown up with for decades from our favorite shows. (Not to mention non-humans like Top Cat, Yogi Bear, and Rocky and Bullwinkle!) I think it’s because whenever we talk about how much we love television and realize how much it impacts our lives, it all started here, with the cartoons we watched as kids. It was the beginning of our love affair with TV, and you never forget your first! When many of us went on to have kids of our own, these ’60s cartoons were probably among the first shows (thanks to syndication!) we let them watch. And we surely watched them again with our kids, so we never really said goodbye to these Saturday-morning and after-school favorites. And many of these comic stories are still being freshly produced today: There are new Bugs Bunny toons, new Tom and Jerrys and new Scooby-Doos. The vibrant colors, the manic energy and just the plain fun we have watching these cartoons never go out of style! Try your hand at the crossword below.
