Years ago there was a cartoon called Dog City. The main female character was a nice piece of tail. Chief Rosie O’Gravy. I’m sure no-one else here remembers this series. Even Google only turns up seven entries for “Chief Rosie O’Gravy”. Do characters from cartoony computer games count? If so [Nico]([http://thebss.brokensword3.net/broken](http://thebss.brokensword3.net/broken) sword 1/bsscreens/5.jpg) (best picture I could find) from Broken Sword, the Shadow of the Templars (mystifyingly renamed “Circle of Blood” for American release) and the sequel. Also Concita Martinez from the sequel. Maybe Serena from Lure of the Temptress by the same company. Whatever happened to point and click adventures? ---

Well, I wasn’t in love but had a crush on Crazy Cat. Unfortunately, (s)he loved Ignatz Mouse. ---

When I was much younger, I used to love Mighty Mouse. I would sit right up to the TV screen and pretend I was Pearly Pureheart, his wo-mouse. ---

Assuming that ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ counts as a cartoon, I’d like to add my voice for Jack Skellington. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SnugTheJoiner \* > \*\*Cuauhtemoc– > > Not only is Nani from LILO AND STITCH hot, but she’s hot in a way never before seen in a Disney heroine. She has a body you might actually see on a real human being! So what if she has a coupla extra pounds and big thighs? She’s hotter than Jasmine and Ariel and Pocahontas and Belle all put together. \*\* Have you ever seen “The Road to El Dorado”? It’s not Disney, but I think it counts as Disney-esque. Rosie Perez’s character, Chel, has an amazing budunk-a-dunk that’s pretty rare in the mainstream kids’ cartoons. Surprisingly, I can’t find a picture that showcases this, so just rent the movie. That’s a second vote for Nani’s boyfriend David, but I’ll keep my grubby hands offa your man, **esprix** , if I can have Wakka (www.zellfantasy.it/strate10/ ffx\_overdrive.htm) from Final Fantasy X. ---

Not exactly a cartoon character, but Kerrigan from Starcraft was hot. Yes, even after she was infested. ---

She’d [be] hot if she didn’t have to wear Depends, the pants you can pee in. \*\* I must update my feelings on this. I’ve seen a few more episodes and I am willing to give Shego the benefit of the doubt vis-à-vis the Depends undergarments. She is one sexy, hot broad who is capable, confident, self-actualized, and, as shown in the episode where she quits her job w/ Drakken, polite to the working stiffs. I’m going to assume that her un-callipygous nature is the short coming of the artist and not her. I do wonder why her skin is green… ---
