There were so many! Babbit & Catstello, Barnyard Dog, Beaky Buzzard! But I'd have to say, of them all, I'm gonna go with Charlie Dog.

I think Sniffles is vastly underrated. His early cartoons aren't all that great, but when Chuck Jones started refining him from a shy little scaredy-puss into a fast-talking wise guy, he became a much funnier character all around...and then Jones just stopped using him in 1946. It would have been interesting if he'd kept it up into the 1950s.

I think Rocky & Mugsy(the two Crime Gangers) are underated. They are great parodies of Old NY style Gangsters, yet they only had a handful of cartoons.

The insane version of Daffy is pretty underated if you ask me.

I always really liked Hubie and Bertie,such a shame they only appered in a couple cartoons.

I'm a big fan of good ol' Pete Puma, so I had to pick him. But I don't know if I'd say he's truly underrated. He actually has quite a following. :anime:

Just about any of what I call the "second string" characters could be considered underrated to some extent: Charlie Dog, Hubie & Bertie, Ralph Wolf & Sam Sheepdog, and so forth....

Now, the most OVERrated, thanks to the Warner Bros. marketing department, would have to be Tweety....

I like Hubie and Bertie. Over time, I was finally able to do a decent impression of both of them vocally, which I did in front of a class for a speech back in college.

"Hey Boit...c'mere!"

"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, Hubie....uhhhh, what were we doing again?"

*slaps Boit repeatedly*

Gabby Goat. Seriously, he was my favorite Looney Toon when i was little. I remember my dad calling me whenever an episode with him in it came on.

I agree with mammy..Cicile might be the only character that beats Bugs in a way that "worked" (or with class sort to speak) You don't hate Cicile, but they way it was written, you still see the humor with Bugs..
..Other times when Bugs was beaten, like the second very unsuccessful , toon with Daffy besting Bugs in the opposite of "Duck Amuck" (don't recall the name, sorry) the toon doesn't work within the framework of what we know..

Something about Cicile that I just like, kinda tricky, and shrewd like Bugs himself..(actually doing those three were quite the exception to the rule--you cannot best Bugs..it isn't funny, and the toon will not work...Ciclile I think works....He and his crowd are, "funny." Bugs works with Cicile for the toons humor...

Well, I think there were occasional other cartoons....Bugs did come out on the short end with Bogey and a penguin one cartoon, and it was fairly funny. And there was that classic cartoon at which Bugs failed to persuade the academy voters of his Oscar-winning qualities (beats me why Bugs is so obsessed over his one Oscar, while I'm taking away nothing from Tom and Jerry, the fact it took the Academy nearly two decades to figure out who America's real all-time theatrical cartoon star was raises a valid question as to what their judgement was really worth).

There was also the one where Bugs was beaten up by his own Frankenstein monster.

And just a little nitpick, it's "Cecil".
