Ruby Gloom, anyone? It plays(or is it played, now?) on YTV. I used to watch it, it's just so cute. <3

Anyone see The Ungroundables episode on South Park? I just saw it recently, and I loved it! Butters has never been so cute. <3

Daria Morgendorfer. Doesn't exactly dress it, but has a strange affection for skulls and other such remains. Also has a very acerbic attitude, very sarcastic.

Invader Zim, was probably one of the darkest cartoons of its time, Gaz was pretty Gothic, along with some other minor characters.

Not to mention Jhonen Vasquez himself.

And isn't Freida from El Tigre a cyber-goth? She has got the goggles, spiked wrist bands, blue hair and boots goin' on!

I know a few, Growing Up Creepie, Total Drama Island, and Edgar and Ellen. They're all pretty sad though.

How 'bout Boris and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle.
All the characters from Ah! Real Monsters, basically.
HIM from Powerpuff Girls was kinda goth...kinda. Sedusa is on that same level.
How about the wonderful Witch Hazel from Looney Tunes? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYtgsLnEl38
I mean, she's a witch so you can't really say yes but you can't really say no. I guess all of the above are more gothic characters than 'goths' in cartoons.

I'd say Jane from Daria was more goth than Daria. Big Wolf On Campus was THE show. Fo real.

At first I was like "what?" so I did a google search for images of HIM so look (it's been ages since I've seen the show), and what do I find? This...



Awesome.

I didn't know that Ruby Gloom was a show. I've read books, they're awesome...I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Misa Amane from Deathnote. I've heard that Invader ZIM has roots in Jonny the Homicidal Maniac, which occasionally poked fun at goths and frequently at 'goth' topics. As long as we're on comics, anyone like Emily Strange? How 'bout The Crow? And let's not forget the sweet and sexy Death from Neil's Sandman. Pandora, from Death, jr., is called goth. I myself have a comic strip with goth characters. Ever see Phineas and Ferb? The evil doctor has a goth daughter(see episode about birthday party). And there's the 'eco-goth' Hex Girls from What's New, Scooby Doo. Edgar and Ellen have a touch of goth, and I can't beleive no one's ssaid anything about my favorite--ANTI-COSMO from Fairly Odd-Parents! The sickening Cartoon Network travesty 6teen had an episode where people were turning goth... but I only saw 30 sec., and my 12 year old brother says that they were all death-worshipping spooky kids. After all, the show takes place in a mall... Gwen from TDI is pretty cool. And finally, there was an episode of Mission Hill(which I despise) with a house party of 'Republican Vampires'. "I follow Marilyn Manson, but I listen to Leonard Cohen," they said.

i think the only reason that they are popping up now-a-days is because of the god damned twilight craze. every tween - teen girl who picks up and reads twilight starts thinking, "oh shit, i read a vampire book, i must be goth"

tv stations are putting goths into cartoons now so that the aforementioned tween - teen girls will watch them and associate with them, thus boosting ratings, thus more money for the greedy fat cats.

...but, that's just my reasoning.

I beleive it's because all the little goth kids who grew up drawing skulls in the margins of their homework papers eventually found their true callings in animation. If you draw little goth people in little goth comics, you can't tell me you wouldn't like people to see them. You could actually say something, and people beleive it, because it's on TV. That, and there's too many of us now. No one even knows what it means to be goth anymore. They're everywhere.

they always stereotype the characters though. and they probably have a mainstreamer voice them. they should stop, or actually use real gothic characters, with a goth actually voicing them.

I saw another one in Meet The Robinsons, with an ant farm. Anyway, a lot of goths do make fun of goth in general. But, you are right, of course. Oh yeah, and the guy with blue skin in that CG Garfeild movie...

I think that's the point of putting them on TV though- the stereotypes I mean. And also I think the appeal lies in how we are able to laugh at the characters (because of how cheesy or 'stereotypical' they are).

I loved the implication of the books she had lying around on her bed: The Plague Years.
Haha!

And the incurable romantic in me loves the scene in Dye Dye My Darling
where Tom and Daria are making out in Tom's old car (that had the rusting roof he said would interest the artistic side of Jane because of the "sad decay of it all" LOL).

The goth kids in South Park are the best! I loved the 12th season episode where they're complaining about the "vamp" kids. That is actually pretty accurate, unfortunately. The old school goth kids complaining about the little vampire kids dressing similar, but probably listening to Slipknot. LOL.

Other gothy cartoons characters include Lydia from the Beetlejuice cartoon and one of the female characters from the Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon. Lisa Simpson also dressed as a goth very briefly in an episode. :P

I discovered The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack while channel surfing. It has a somewhat dark atmosphere. Also, it has maritime and fairy tale elements incorporated into it.
