Depressed Cartoons You Must Register Before You Can Post

Many have said this is the most depressing day of the year...no Christmas Stuff, no snow, just nothing but gloom!

But there are cartoons that share that gloom 24/7...like Eeyore or Hardy-Har-Har.

Are there any others?

Glum, from "Gulliver's Travels." "We'll never make it." Classic!

Bad Luck Schleprock from "The Pebbles And Bamm-Bamm Show."

And of course, Boober, from the animated version of "Fraggle Rock."

Similar pessimism was displayed by Mr. Creeper (the snail) in Fleischer Studios' next (and last) film, Mr. Bug Goes to Town (1941). Voiced by an uncredited Pinto Colvig.

Even though he was just in this one cartoon, The Easter Bunny in Easter Yeggs was always depressed.

My bad. The cartoon was "The Adventures Of Gulliver," from 1968.

I must add Droopy...or at least he looks depressed.

The Fred Quimby/Tex Avery Droopy does. The Michael Lah Droopy looks like he's been given some Prozac or Zoloft, but I like them all the same. Although I remember the Michael Lah Droopy or Hanna-Barbera Droopy crying a couple of times, which got him what he wanted:

Out-Foxed - when the fox outwits him for the last time, Droopy begins crying that he won't get a steak. The fox asks him about the steak, and Droopy explains that for each fox caught, the dog gets a nice, juicy steak. The fox then proceeds to call all of his fox relatives.

Senor Droopy - in a bullfight contest, the winner can have anything he wants. Both Droopy and his rival, the Wolf, want a date with Lena Romay. While fighting the bull, Droopy cries, saying he'll never get the girl, then the bull comes up behind him, draws a mustache on Lena's face, which causes Droopy to beat the stuffing out of him.

"Allegro Non Troppo" had a segment of a sad little cat wandering through an abandoned house remembering the early days when the house was inhabited with the cat's former owners to the music of "Valse Triste". Very sad.
