Do you think Dragon Ball will be remembered in 60 years?

Consider the fact, Looney Tunes (1930) is almost 100 years old and still making new contents, with "The Day the Earth Blew Up" and upcoming "Coyote vs. Acme", Dragon Ball would definitely remembered for long, LONG, time.

You can't really compare Dragon Ball to Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. Looney Tunes have been iconized since the silver era of cartoons that prioritize gag-driven content over plot "toon physics" short stories that don't maintain any kind of steady timeline or continuity, whereas Dragon Ball is a strict linear manga based author-approved Shonen storyline which separates canon, anime canon, and filler.

Nonetheless Dragon Ball will continue to inspire future anime as it's already done for the past 30+ years in Japan (which used Goku as their Olympic Ambassador in 2020). So even if it's 60+ years from now, (imo) Toriyama's uniquely charming manga character and retro world aesthetics along with Dragon Ball toys, games, cards and merc will be the most likely variables of the series to pass the test of time.

Yeah, millennial myself and never heard of Nancy, Little Orphan Annie. Popeye, yes.

Same here. Jumping the gun here but maybe it's a regional thing?

I love Nancy but that's because I love TV Tropes where you can get introduced to any series or franchise by sheer accident.
