Hanging around here makes me feel older.
You know… in a good way.
Harrummpphh! You whippersnappers…
* smacks Congrats with cane *
Okay, Congrats, what the heck is that avatar of yours? It looks like a disincorporated cartoon stomach attracting flies.
It’s KIRBY!!!1
I have so lost my street cred.
Truly. I am sorely disappointed. 
Whippersnapper, said the curmudgeon.
But thanks for the link, although it left me in the dust, I must admit, and I have NO idea what “yum yum chunky puffs” are.
…but do you want to know?
Me either. However it’s clear that Kirby is yet another incarnation of the Japanese concept of incredible cuteness. Notice the use of a single, very large “eyeglint” i.e light reflection patches. Less cute anime characters have smaller, no less than two, often three or more eyeglints.
Compare to the flying cursor to your left who has no eyeglints.
Back when I was a boy cartoon characters were…
And get off my lawn ya crazy kids.
Speed Racer and Kimba (who’s the king of animals in Africa?)
I see Speed Racer doesn’t have eye glints either. Shame.
I was big into Mighty Mouse and Bugs Bunny.
Bugs Bunny was a poser! Daffy Duck was the real star of Looney Tunes! 
/agree
SpeedRacer looks like those Stories for Boys from Blackie’s, etc. back in the forties and fifties.
