Cartoons are a pivotal part of most of our childhoods, so important that many of our first crushes were characters from our favorite animated TV shows or movies.

So when comic book writer Gail Simone—who's best known for writing DC's Birds of Prey—started the conversation using the soon-to-be-viral hashtag #1stCartoonCrush, we had to ask ourselves: why hadn’t someone thought of this sooner?

Stupid Question Of The Day:

Name the first animated character you ever had a crush on. Which animated character did you first think was super kissable, even if it sounds weird now?

Please use hashtag#1stCartoonCrush
