Bonkers D. Bobcat (Miranda Wright episodes)

Bonkers D. Bobcat is the titular protagonist of the 1993-1995 Disney animated television series with the same name.

Originally featured on Raw Toonage, he is a former star of cartoon shorts at Wackytoon Studios. He is an overly energetic and hyperactive, out-of-work, somewhat foolish, and not-so-bright Toon bobcat who works in the Toon Division of the Hollywood P.D. as a police officer. In the 'Miranda' episodes, he's portrayed as a rather clumsy, somewhat foolish character who ends up being the shows' punching bag. In the Lucky episodes, he's less of a buffoon and more of an Inspector Clouseau-type, in control of himself (though still hyperactive), and carries extensive knowledge about the Toons and their behavior, which is an asset on cases dealing with rogue Toons (Lucky would very rarely acknowledge this, although he knows it deep inside). The joke is his lack of law enforcement experience and procedure is still his "Achilles' heel."

He is voiced by Jim Cummings.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He's a Roger Rabbit clone, but without Roger's competence and likability.
 * 2) Unlike his more likable inspiration, he is quite the goof. He is a complete fool who's always blundering himself with ideas or decisions that usually make no sense, especially when his antics always reach to Jar Jar Binks levels of annoying.
 * 3) * Whenever he does make sense, it generally comes out of nowhere and is ultimately useless (mainly because of poor writing since Bonkers is supposed to be similar to a dumb clown) and it makes him seem dumber than how he was shown to be very resourceful.
 * 4) He became far more of an incompetent Butt-Monkey than in the previous Lucky episodes.
 * 5) His oddball voice can still grate on the nerves when he is talkative to an excessive degree.
 * 6) * It especially becomes pretty hard to tolerate listening to him when he speaks insanely fast-paced and in such a way that can be incomprehensible sometimes, or when he portrays childish behavior like pointless wailing and complaining that is still played for laughs sometimes.
 * 7) Everything he does is generally very weird, senseless more often than not, somewhat annoying or even unlikable at times, and simply unfunny.
 * 8) * Not to mention that several characters demonstrate how irritated they are with Bonkers around when they're in a problem (even around Miranda at times, where she's usually levelheaded and tolerating everything Bonkers does or says, compared to the other cops).
 * 9) His sense of humor can be even more passé, uninspired, and at times bland than before.
 * 10) In many episodes, as a result of his naivete and shortcomings; he often does things that can be problematic and gets all of his partners into tons of destructive misadventures, whether if he knew what he was doing or not.
 * 11) He has had moments where he was significantly more childish than usual, an example of this was when he was constantly complaining by asking Miranda what did he do wrong in a very immature way.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Just like Jar Jar Binks: He means well, and Bonkers has shown to care a lot about his friends most of the time even if he is sometimes childish, pitiful, or annoyingly fallible around them. He can also be quite compassionate and pleasant to those he interacts with (when he isn't annoying other characters). Not to mention he can be supportive to those with rather serious problems or when it comes to trying to help. This is also shown in his cutesy brother-sister relationship with Miranda, and he's shown to care a lot about her.
 * 2) * Speaking of which, when Bonkers isn't relying on dumb luck to get him out of situations, he can pull through to save the day when it counts the most and he can be practical when he needs to be, this one is a prime example. Albeit seldom when it does occur.
 * 3) * While he happens to be the brunt of the slapstick that ensues, he is still earnest about his screwups.
 * 4) With that said, he isn't as aggravating as another cartoon bobcat.
 * 5) Speaking of cute, his design still has effort put into it (even if he still looks like a bizarre Looney Tunes character).
 * 6) There are fans who support this character throughout.
 * 7) In spite of his apparent unfunny sense of humor and clumsiness, special moments of his klutziness and buffoonish behavior can be genuinely entertaining to some. Also, Bonkers can provide some amount of fun and charm every once and a while.
