I have fond memories of the classic Disney cartoons from the 90s. Darkwing Duck, Talespin, Gargoyles...
Hard to say which one is my favorite. Probably Gargoyles. Let's see how the live action reboot turns out. I hope they can get Jonathan Frakes on board.
From my childhood? It wasn't quite a cartoon, but a puppets series called Cocoricó. It was about a city kid living with his parents in the countryside, with talking animals and all of that. If that doesn't count it's probably Babar or Marsupilami.
If counting things I watched through my adult years (yup) it's mostly anime. (I'm watching some right now, by the way. I'm 40. I should be working, it's early morning, but I have no shame.) Then I guess Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann?
I recently re-watched Ren & Stimpy and they did not age well. Cow & Chicken has aged better, but is a product of its era too much to have lasting value.
Futurama is an excellent choice. That one has my vote as well.
Individual cartoon? "Billy Boy" from 1954, and "Feed the Kitty" from 1952 are among my perennial favorites.
Comic strips? Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Dykes to Watch Out For, always come to mind.
Comic books? Saga, and Bone are both excellent.
Guess the thread is over. Can't really top those.
Batman of the future
Now I want a crossover between Futurama and Batman.
I got really excited reading the comment I thought they'd made one
Futurama superheroes episode...

Gargoyles was exactly what came to mind. Pirates of Dark Water would be my second choice.
Though Appleseed (1988 version) is top tier if I were to not pick a kids show.
Wait, there's a live action Gargoyles in the works?? I am intrigued but also a little frightened.
I loved Gargoyles as a kid!
From my childhood its going to be Grim Adventures and Ed Edd n Eddy. Early Spongebob is going to round out my top 3.
Grim adventures is so good.
Adventure Time.
Invader Zim!
Probably Samurai Jack.

Loony Tunes and Merry Melodies. Love me some Bugs. Animaniacs holds a similar place.
My little Pony Friendship is Magic, Sailor Moon.
Ren & Stimpy. No wait, Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Or maybe Futurama. I like 'em weird.

What about it didn't hold up?
There's a few hilarious episodes, but most of it is just weird for the sake of weird without being actually funny.
That was true all along. I don't think it was meant to be nonstop comedy.
Regular show
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Doug
Tom and Jerry (obviously), Doraemon.... Aaaand I think that's about it?
I recently discovered Primal. I always loved Tartakovsky (powerpuff girls, Dexter) but this last one is too of the notch!
I really liked Rocko’s Modern Life!
Camp Lazlo.
Just wall-to-wall cartoon shenanigans.

Venture Brothers, followed closely by Space King
