Hi Guys!
I was thinking we could study Bernard from Day of The Tentacle
I ripped the walking, talking & pickup frames of Bernard:

The character design is plain and simple and uses only two shades to show depth. Color count is 11 (8 if you remove the tie).
The 6-frames walking animation imo is very nice and gives a fluent feel, they did a very fine job at it I must say!
I was also thinking: Is there any "lip-sync" going on in the game when they are talking, or is it just some random mouth movements?

As we can see in the video, the mouth only seems to go round & round with the same pattern when they are talking, without any lip-sync.
I remember not complaining about it when I played it as young, and I'm not complaining about it now either!
Cartoon adventure games don't have to be prefect, just a good imitation of the real world.
If you want, I can also rip the other characters from the game.
