More Gay Cartoon Characters

Salon.com | More gay cartoon characters revealed!

Snagglepuss and Huckleberry soon became confidants of other prominent cartoon characters struggling with their homosexuality. And what started as an informal support group slowly morphed into a political action network.

“During the mid-’70s, the public became more aware of just how many celebrities were gay,” explains Snagglepuss, turning serious. “Well, that included us, and people began speculating about cartoons the same way they did about human actors.”

“The ironic thing is, they were wrong about one of the first gay icons,” he adds. “There was always a lot of talk about Velma, but she’s strictly hetero.”

Google Maps. Click-and-drag maps. Awesome.

(Update: Try getting directions from one point to another. Then you can drag the mouse along the route, and it’s almost like you’re virtually travelling from your starting point to your destination. I just traveled from NYC to the University of Virginia that way.)
