Lets see if the UBB code works in the subject line.

So we've had every variation of this attractive/not attractive/suprisingly attractive men and women, but how about cartoons! What characters of paint and ink really raise your sail? I'm gonna open this for all sexes with no gender or preference stipulations.

I personally love Ariel from the Little Mermaid. Who doesn't love a hot little redhead who is amazed by everything she sees and is incapable of speaking! Very endearing. I also love Mary Jane from the Spiderman cartoons, notice a trend?

Jane in Disney's Tarzan;

The female lead-dancer in "Cat's Don't Dance" (its been so long since I saw it, was her name "Baily?"). Some anthropomorphic sex appeal! (Her singing voice was Natalie Cole, she does a "torch song" towards the end that just melts ya!)

Lois Lane from WB's Superman Cartoon;

Roberta Smeffinfeffer, from "Mayberry Melonpool," an on-line comic strip (see it at www.Melonpool.com). Even though she's not drawn to have "sex appeal" necessarily, she's smart, sassy, and assertive. Everything a man wants in a woman.

Diana Palmer from "The Phantom" comics;

As for Spiderman, I always favored Gwen over Mary Jane. Whaterver happened to Gwen anyway?

Almost all of the recent Disney women are sexy. I think they're going for the Dad demographic here.
My favorite is definitely Jasmine from Aladdin

Of course there was that sheep in Beauty and the Beast...

All you guys are also forgetting the "Little Hot Riding Hood" in the ol' Tex Avery cartoons from the 30's & 40's. You know....the one where the wolf's eyes and tongue drop out on the table when she does her club show.

And can it be that in a world so full and busy, the loss
of one weak creature makes a void in any heart, so

AzRaek, you gotta be kidding! In my youth, I felt many different feelings about Megatron, but never were they even remote similar similar to "Ohh, man, he's a hottie!"

And all I can say to all of you is, if you ain't seen recent anime, you ain't seen nothin'.

Obviously you guys haven't wached much Anime (or Manga). Thoe girls are HOT! Check out Wicked City or Ninja Scroll or even Project Ako.

Along the same line... Sailor Moon woo woo! To quote the Bare Naked Ladies: "Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes that make me think the wrong thing"

I have never nitpicked before, so forgive me Gary. Actually, it was issue 121, and in the panel where Spiderman snags her with his webbing you can read (see) the word snap. For a long time the Green Goblin was blamed for Gwens death, and while he did push her off the bridge, the truth came out later that the sudden stop of her fall with his web broke her neck. Many references to this appear later in the series when Spidey is attempting to save someone from falling, he thinks "NO! I cant let them die like Gwen!" and proceeds to jump after them, grabbing hold and then firing a web line to stop the fall, because his spider-strength can withstand the stress. I had to say it because I am the veritable Spiderman fan and collector, and I never get an opportunity like this!

Let's see who do I think is hot from the cartoons. First of all I will start with guys, Jasmine's father from Aladin and any incarnation of Santa Claus but especially the Coca-Cola Santa. Now I will finish with girls, most of the anime babes especially Kaori from Akira, Sailor Moon, and Lime (from some anime called Marrionette or something like that), and Daphne from Scooby Doo. Velma was also hot in her lesbian way.

It's true, there's nothing like Sailor Moon and the Scouts to make you feel like a Dirty Old Man...those long, loooong legs and abbreviated schoolgirl uniforms, yike.

I'm surprised that with all the Disney talk, no one's mentioned Tinkerbell yet, and the illicit thrill when she flashes her teeny-tiny panties.

And don't forget Wallace Wood's SALLY FORTH, the girl who simply cannot keep her clothes on.

Aladdin himself--you guys can have Jasmin, give me Aladdin!

Trent from Daria.

Gotta be Speed Racer all the way. When I was little I wanted to marry him. Of course I had no idea at the time what exactly that would entail, I did get the idea that my odds of kissing him would be good. Still have a poster of him in the bedroom, much to actual hubby's chagrin.

I never remember having sexual feelings about a cartoon character in my life.


Until Disney's new Tarzan.

Holy smokes, that's one fine ape-man!

As far as Disney girls go, I'll vote for Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Chocolate-brown skin and bright blue eyes? WHOAH!

Kind of obscure reference, but does anyone remember "Mission: Magic", a Filmation entry that was on CBS Saturday mornings? Somehow the schoolmarm character made a strong impression on my pubescent psyche.

I remember Mission: Magic!, but I don't recall very much about it. However, I did find out later that the lead male character was voiced by Rick Springfield.

sqrlcub: Jasmine's father!?!?! Santa Claus?!?!?

That is just so many shades of wrong, I can't even begin to fathom it. I think it's wrong to judge anyone by their sexual preference -- unless it's for Santa or Jasmine's dad.

(You're right about Velma though. I'd forgotten about Velma.)

this may be a little obscure but Margo from The Critic. I also love about any anime girls except for sailor moon. Ewwww. She's skinnier then most anime girls and they all look like models.

I'm not old enough to remember this, but how about Daisy May Yokum (nee Scragg) from Li'l Abner?

I also liked Pogo's Miss Mam'selle Hepzibah, the cutest lady skunk in all of Georgia. I'm not old enough to remember her either though.

Oh lordy, did Al Capp's pen have a way with the female form! Not only Daisy Mae, but Moonbeam McSwine and Stupefyin' Jones!

Frank Frazetta began subbing for Al back in the late 1950s...about the time that the Dogpatch women became even MORE buxom.

Gambit (especially when drawn by Jim Lee). I loved the stories where he looked after the chronologically-challenged Storm. Looks, charm, sensitivity, woo woo.

Wolverine (kinda--he's a little hairy for me, but oh so dangerous, and oh so troubled). I always thought he and Jubilee made a good duo, too. Why this fascination with super-hero men and the little girls they cared for? Guess I just wanted a big strong super-powered guy to look after me

Prince Erik from The Little Mermaid.

Trent from Daria (although I have the feeling he'd be much scarier in real life).

And Morten Harket from A-ha in the "Take on Me" video. Does he count? The parts where he was animated?

Oh, and Jughead. He was always the funny one. I like a shy guy with a sense of humor

I agree with you guys on Harley Quinn...but I'm mystified as to why she IS so appealing. Is it the Brooklyn accent? The cap and bells? Or just the idea that she's zorking the Joker? Harley admirers, weigh in.

As for Lil Annie Fanny...too much of a good thing.

Ike, for me, a good chunk of Harley's Appeal is her voice. Dunno what it is about the voice (probably the accent), but every time I hear her speak I get all wobbly.

What's with bringing up ancient threads?

I vote for Belle, from Beauty and the Beast. And I'll second Rogue from X-men. Lastly, even though she's not a "toon," I have to mention Lara Croft from Tomb Raider.
