16 Cartoon Sidekicks in Real Life

Charley Feldman

It’s comforting to think writer’s for animation get all their ideas from their imaginations. But everyone knows that The Imagination died when The Reading Rainbow sold out and went Electric Company. Writers these days just create character from actual people. Even sidekicks aren’t authentic anymore. Here are 18 examples of what I mean.
