Hadn’t seen the Animaniacs episode, though I have seen
the similar episode of Tiny Toons where Babs finds her idol in the form of one of WB’s earliest
characters.
To add into what Mitch said with the erasing thing, there’s also that episode of Drawn Together
with the concentration camp for the racial stereotype characters run by ****ey Mouse that killed toons by dumping
them into an erasing machine.
I just basically lump all erasing under Dip anyway, though I tend to prefer the
substance itself as the main Toon. Part of that whole mixture is paint thinner you know.

FigmentJedi - Drawn Together, huh? I don’t remember
that episode; of course, it has been years since I last saw Animaniacs, so it’s no
wonder that I have forgotten. Heh.
And, if I do say so myself, the eraser isn’t as bad as the Dip. I get
shivers just thinking about the latter, and that stuff looks like it hurts. 
And there is also that Spongebob episode, where an artist
on a boat in the middle of the sea drops his pencil into the water and Spongebob finds it and starts doodling
with it. All of his doodles come to life, but he can also erase them, as well as himself, with the eraser at the
other end of the pencil. That was a freaky episode. 
Makes you wonder how old the classic monsters are. Dracula, frankinstein,
etc.

That’s a basic
gimmick for hand-drawn characters. They CAN erase themselves if they got ahold of a real eraser, though
speculation would be they wouldn’t have a body, just a voice.
Hard to say why the Dip does what it does.
It’s like acid to a Toon. So in some ways. But how it hurts toons, being a real object, is hard to know.
Heck…it’s hard to know what it’s creator, Doom (if I recall),
was.

More to the penicl theory. In terms of Toon, there are
Toon Objects (such as Valiant’s gun in RR) and Real Objects (the pencil). The Real Pencil is basically like a
Toon God in some senses. As it has the power to create images. Although those created by Toons are a bit
more…different and are erasable by the Toon.
Star Swordsman
Heh heh.
Frankinstein’s MONSTER 
But that’s just something people say, not like the monster didn’t have a
name.
Dracula and others in his category are universal. They can be either Toon or Real. [/b]
Do you think monsters are
practically imortal? And if they are, how did they become that?

No no. Monsters aren’t immortal.
It depends actually
on WHAT you mean really.
Monster TOONS, yes.
Monsters like Ran, Sullivan, and such, no.
Though there
are genes, take the Dragon gene for instance, that alter in such a way to have extended life. And, rarely,
immortality IS possible more for Mons than Humans.
Immortality is just not aging. Toons practically don’t
age.
However there is controversy for that, such as the Rugrats, how they were as babies and in their new
All-Grown up. If Toons are shown as different ages, they are still the same Toon but have different
forms.
Toons do have lives, but they don’t relatively age unless their creator makes it so.
