Observation #1:
Nilbog and Bubbles are both very cool for having knowledge of this movie.
Observation #2:
Bubbles is a complete dipshit.

First time I heard the word toon reference someones character was in '97 or '98 while playing a pretty obscure game on AOL called "Magestorm". I've never liked it either..

Hah just noticed this. We (and by we I mean the collective of adults that use the appropriate noun for whatever we're discussing), don't know. I would wager somewhere around 2003.

EQOA was out and within the first year into the game, it was ..

"hey man, I made a new toon"
"what's your toon's name, I'll add you"
"I have no more toon space"

I have zero respect for internet talk and flat out ignore anyone whom says 'toon' when talking about a character.

Toon is.

People were born, Then they thought of something, and in the end. Now you hear people say toon. Lazy america, would rather say toon then character.

type, not say.


I'd wager that most people who type toon, say character.
