That would depend a great deal on how you define a 'cartoon character.'

In 1995 the US issued Scott #3000, a sheet of 20 stamps commemorating a dozen of the early American Cartoons, some of which are still running in newspapers today.

The first cartoon character is arguably the one issued in 1984 that pictured McGruff, the crime dog. Bugs Bunny was the first animated cartoon character to appear on a US postage stamp in 1997.

In 1997, Bugs Bunny appeared on a U.S. postage stamp, the first cartoon character to be so honored, beating the iconic Mickey Mouse. The stamp is number seven on the list of the ten most popular U.S. stamps, as calculated by the number of stamps purchased but not used. The introduction of Bugs onto a stamp was controversial at the time, as it was seen as a step toward the 'commercialization' of stamp art. The postal service rejected many designs, and went with a postal-themed drawing.
