The Mystery Cartoon Character Game, ongoing.

Nope, not Smurfette. Here are the next clues.

My speech sounds like gibberish.
In the comics, the protagonist liberated me from a hag.
Also, none of the good-guys knew I was a female until my name was called.

Now I've got it. It's Alice The Goon!

1. She began in Thimble Theater, Popeye's comic.

2. The Goons were first animated five years later.

3. She didn't become a cartoon character herself until long after that.

4. She speaks only gibberish.

5. She was once a slave of the Sea Hag.

6. Self-explanatory.

That's right! It is Alice the Goon.

Take it away emeraldisle.

Thanks, Saltyboot. Now here's one that certainly hasn't been posted as yet:

1. I'm the villainess of an Easter Special.

2. My adversaries are a rabbit, a bear, and my own little nephew, the King, plus a few others.

3. In the end, I give up trying to halt the Easter traditions, and even get a flower named after me.

This must be Lily Longtooth from The Easter Bunny is Comin' to Town.

Yes, Saltyboot, you're right again. Now to explain:
ea
1. She was the villainess of the special.

2. Her adversaries were Sunny Bunny, Gadzooks the bear, and her own nephew, 7 year old King Bruce, as well as Hallelujah Jones, Chugs the train, and the kids of Kidville, plus the Hendrew Sisters.

3. She eventually gave up her efforts to discourage Easter traditions, and the others named Easter Lilies after her.

All yours, Salty. Great job.

Thanks! Now here's mine.

I'm a redhead.
I'm mean.
I use a gun as a pacifier.

I know this, but I'll bet ten to one someone else does, too. Let them supply the answer.

Yosemite Sam, methinks? He's always been portrayed as an ornery adult, but there may have been a glimpse of himself as a young 'un. The firearm-as-teething-ring would certainly be in character. Tough love, indeed.

Yosemite Sam was already on the list.
However, I know this one.
It's the Dead End Kid from "Easter Yeggs" You know, "I wanna Easter egg! I wanna Easter egg!"

That is correct, it's the Dead End Kid! This is one of my favorite Easter cartoons (and cartoons in general).

Yeah, it's a great cartoon, although Elmer is one sicko wanting to kill and cook the Easter bunny.

Anyhow, I have a Seder coming up (Passover dinner) so I shall post one when I have the time--which may be tomorrow afternoon at the latest due to work. Thanks for the understanding.

I can post now after all.

1. My mother needs someone to look after me while she's at work.
2. I am left with a pig.
3. He is left with a book to use on me.

It's Butch from Brother Brat.

Porky babysits him while his mom is working in the factory.
Porky tries using a physiology book to help with the brat.

Yep--it's Butch from "Brother Brat." That was one funny short--and one bad baby.

OK, I'm ready.

I appeared once in a stop motion movie.
I desire to be famous.
I have a pet monkey.

I have no idea. Besides, I'm off to Marineland to see the dolphins, so again, someone else should figure it out.

I may have an idea--but I am not quite certain yet, so I shall wait and see...

Alrighty then, here is the next set.

My pet abandoned me.
I am foiled by a boy, as well as my pet.
At the end of the movie, I was a special guest at a history class.

Still don't have it. Sorry. Just can't think of it right now.
