After another glorious weekend, Happy Monday is here again. Following on from our Editors as Kids post, we bring you a nostalgic array of childhood cartoon characters as our editors reveal which illustrated persona best matches their own. From the surly charm of Cyril Sneer to the feigned helplessness of Penelope Pitstop, we remember all our favourites and discover some new and surprising choices. The sun is still shining but we hope our selection makes for an even brighter Monday!
Happy Monday! #anotherhappymonday

AnOther editorial assistant Daisy Woodward: Maid Marian from Robin Hood
