Where have you gone Cartoon pitchmen?

With the recent passing of Billy Mays and the the subsequent publicity surrounding his death, I wondered if other pitchmen were given the same ceremonious sendoff with tributes and fan fare. Now I am not talking about the guy who hawked the pet rock, chia pet or any other novelty, but rather someone more recognizable - think the Marlboro Man, but bigger. Yes, I am talking about cartoon pitchmen. The perfect sales tool to get kids on the hook and the parents spending money to keep them happy.
