Jot It Down
The one for 1966 is The Smurfs, with that particular image looking like Smurfette. Most people don’t realize The Smurfs are that old because the brand was so popular in the 80s, but The Smurfs first appeared in a comic strip in 1958.
Hey John,
You’re right about The Smurfs in 1966. I didn’t know it went all the way back to the late 50’s! Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the reply! 1993 has got to be Beavis from Beavis and Butthead.
