They're all canard configuration, but you're correct - they could very well be going the other way.
Depends on how you want to build it...

Some delightful illustrations of R2-D2 'dressed' as popular comicbook superheroes. Totally pointless, but...

Na na na na na Bat Tooey!
Interesting to say the least.

I have recently discovered the wonderful Belgian cartoon books "Luftgaffe 44" with Philippe Abbet marvelous drawings. There are 3 volumes already and many marvelous caricatures of airplanes. I am jealous, I wish I had this talent...

Love the green R2 ! Very cool and a neat idea.

In an old magazine at the Ajax model show today

The R2 units look good ! Hard to pick a favourite, prob Flash or Green Hornet.

The Starlifter is a great idea too !

In a French Disney magazine that I bought for my 6 y.o. son (Picsou Magazine Hors Série #34 = Mc Duck Special #34?), I have found a cute cartoon B-17 (drawing of the 1950s):

Wonderful link/film, thanks a lot!
I have to scan 6 other aircraft from this magazine, including 2 lovely twin-boomers...

EDIT: Here are the 3 first ones:

Are they Real aircraft turned cartoons or pure fantasy? I love them

[Tophe]

And this is a genuine cartoon-airplane, maybe looking-like-nothing but cute...

And a fantasy twin-boomer (or 2):

[Dizzyfugu]

Another classic... 








And it has even been modeled/scratched several times:
