My most beloved cartoons [ESP/ENG]

Hello friends, today I'm here at the invitation of my husband @victor2356, and the truth is that seeing the original post by @avdesing made me really want to share my experience with the cartoons of my childhood.

Hola amigos, hoy me presento por aquí por la invitación de mi esposo @victor2356, y la verdad es que viendo la publicación original de @avdesing sentí muchas ganas de contar mi experiencia con las caricaturas de mi infancia.

I grew up in the 1960s here in Venezuela. My siblings and I studied in the afternoons and got out of school around four o'clock, the time when cartoons and children's programs started airing 🤗. At home, my siblings and I had a strict rule that we followed religiously: whoever got home first and turned on the TV before everyone else had the right not only to watch whatever program they wanted, but also to be the only one who could change the channel. Everyone else had to watch whatever was on at that moment, even though we all usually liked the same TV shows 😃. However, my younger brother almost always won. He was the first to run home and sit in front of the TV, and since my mom and dad bought the TV for our entertainment, they didn't interfere with our rules about the programming. Then I remember that one of the cartoons we enjoyed watching the most was The Flintstones and The Jetsons by Hanna Barbera. I even remember the excitement I felt when the intro started. I also remember that during the commercials I would take the opportunity to go to the bathroom or do something else, and then one of my brothers would shout to me: "It's started again!" and I would run out to sit in front of the television again.

Another one I loved was Top Cat and his gang. I laughed so much with this cartoon, I loved it 😄. But not only that, my siblings, friends, and I would play at being in Top Cat's gang and take on different roles. Now that I think about it, I feel so nostalgic for those wonderful childhood and teenage years. Whether in front of the TV or out on the street, we all shared our time, ideas, and experiences, so our friendships were stronger than they are now—well, at least that's how it seems to me. But I loved the camaraderie that Top Cat's gang had and the way they all came together to achieve a goal, sometimes making Officer Dibble (I don't know the original names of these characters) angry. But for my friends, siblings, and me, these characters were an icon of unity.

Otra que me encantaba era Don Gato y su Pandilla, me reía mucho con esta caricatura, me encantaba 😄 pero no solo eso, sino que además cuando estábamos mis hermanos, amigos y yo jugábamos a estar en la pandilla de Don Gato y asumíamos un rol. Ahora que lo recuerdo me da tanta nostalgia por eso años de niñez y juventud tan bonitos, bien sea frente al televisor o en la calle, todos compartíamos nuestro tiempo, ideas y experiencias, así que las relaciones con los amigos eran más sólidas que ahora, bueno, al menos a mi me da esa impresión. Pero a mi me encantaba esa camaradería que tenía la pandilla de Don Gato y la manera en que todos se unían para lograr un objetivo, a veces haciendo enojar al oficial Matute (No sé como son los nombres originales de estos personajes) pero para mis amigos, hermanos y para mi, estos personajes fueron un ícono de unión.

One of the cartoons I also really liked was Crazy Cat, although I don't know what the original name was. But even though I liked watching it, I stopped when my younger brother started calling it "Crazy Cat." It all started when I was arguing with a girl and I threw a rock at her, and unfortunately, I cut her head (it wasn't a serious fracture, but she still bled). Obviously, I was punished, but my brother started calling me Crazy Cat (I think it was because in the show's intro, a mouse throws a brick at her 😃).

Uno de los dibujos animados que también me gustaba mucho era La Gata Loca, aunque no sé cual era el nombre original, pero a pesar de que me gustaba verlo, dejé de hacerlo cuando mi hermano menor empezó a llamarla "Gata loca" y todo fue a raíz de que en una ocasión en que yo estaba discutiendo con una niña le lancé una piedra y desafortunadamente le rajé la cabeza (no fue una rotura importante pero aún así le salió sangre) Obviamente me castigaron pero mi hermano empezó a llamarme Gata loca (creo que fue porque en la intro del programa un ratón le lanza un ladrillo a ella 😃)

This has truly been a journey through happy memories for me, a way to step into a time machine, so I enjoyed this month's theme like never before. That's why I invite the entire community, the other Hivers, and also my daughters and niece: @mairene1, @bethyjade, and @emparatriz1503 to be part of this month's lovely theme proposed by @avdesing.

De verdad que para mi esto ha sido un paseo a través de recuerdos felices, una manera de subirme a una máquina del tiempo, así que disfruté como nunca del tema de este mes, por eso invito a toda la comunidad, a los otros Hivers y también a mis hijas y sobrina: @mairene1, @bethyjade y @emperatriz1503 a que formen parte del lindo tema de este mes propuesto por @avdesing.
