I watched the TV series before ever picking up a comic, but once I finally did I was so mad that they portrayed Cobra Commander as an idiot on TV.

I watched the cartoon religiously as a kid so I had to pick that. I actually only had a few issues of the comic as a little kid (didn't collect comics until I was 10 or 11 and didn't collect GI Joe comics at all). Thanks to Xerofall I have been able to enjoy how great the comic book is! But sentimentality won me over and I just had to say the cartoon.

I grew up watching the cartoon and never read the comics for years. So because of that, i voted for the cartoons....

I only saw 2 or 3 episodes of the cartoon growing up as a kid.
It was the comic all the way.
Always read/played in the Hama-verse, and used the voices from the toon.

As much as I like the cartoon I can't take it too seriously because of my love for the comic. The comic book's continuity is key to my love for the GI Joe universe, the cartoon was just a fun added bonus.

I grew up on the tune, heck, I had the opening song memorized before the pledge of alliegance (sad, ironic, yet cute for a kid...), but after reading the comic, I can easily say that the comic is, in my opinion, is a better story.

Tougher call than I thought this one.
The comic has more permanence, is more influential and ultimately more what GI JOE is about.

But... kicking back and popping in a DVD of the cartoon is still a fine way to while away a few hours one lazy evening.

Ultimately they offer great entertainment within their respective mediums and don't really compete, but if I had to choose one it would be the comics.
