I used to have a crush on Gaiman’s Death, and I’m sure that crush would be revived should I reread the comics (is there anyone who’ve read those comics _without_ getting a crush on her?). Another comic character I had a crush on was Molly O’Reilly from the Books of Magic, though I don’t believe that crush would resurface on a reread - or, at least, I’d feel like a pedophile if it did :). ---

Not sure why this thread suddenly got exhumed from the zombie graveyard, but what’s done is done . . . I see several votes already for Jessica Rabbit. Not too bad, but my cartoon (or puppet) heartthrob babes are… – **Miss Piggy**. – **Peg** , the Lhaso Apso who sang “He’s A Tramp” in Lady And The Tramp. !!! (Sung by Peggy Lee!) Just look that up on You-Tube, and you can find several clips showing it, including one of the studio recording session with Peggy Lee and the singers who did the howling dog voices, narrated by Walt Disney. ---

Kimba the White Lion was my first crush - age 5ish, so not only a cartoon, but wrong species. ---

I’m finding that this thread had probably faded into the background just before I started posting at SDMB. It’s surely one that I would have chosen to post to. There’s probably another thread from later days that I did post to, whether the topic was as directly related or not. I fell in love with a character on the old _Kerry Drake_ strip by the name of **Champagne** and I have been trying – off and on with no success – to find her online. So far, one or two others have remembered enough about her to confirm that I was (as a child of preteen age) justified in my lust for her. Does her name or the old strip click in anybody else’s memory? ETA: Found that old thread (or at least one of them): > **[An Extremely Arcane Request](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=200916)** > > Okay. I know very few of you are old enough to assist with this. And those who may be old enough will really have to scratch your heads over this. Are you familiar with the Kerry Drake comic strip?

Ah, **Flynn (Eugene) Rider** from Tangled, the first cartoon character I’ve ever found so attractive, I discussed it openly at work without shame. And other women agreed with me. Second place would go to **Simbad** from Simbad and the Legend of the Seven Seas - cute, adventurous, bad boy, and very sensual for a cartoon character. Rounding out the top three would be **Dean** from the Iron Giant, who’s the most like a man I would want to end up with in real life - creative, kind hearted, good with kids, and just a touch irresponsible. Indulging in the bi side of things, **Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy** from Batman: The Animated Series. Together. ---

Love? No. Lust? Plenty… Lesse here. Sticking purely to animated characters, comics don’t count. In no particular order: Nani, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Jessica Rabbit and Kim Possible all from Disney. Cheetara from thundercarts, Velma from scooby-doo, Ryoko, Faye Valentine, Rouge, Raven, Miss Martian, April O’neil, I’m sure there’s plenty more… ---

Rogue, from the X-Men cartoon from the late 90’s. The no touching thing would be a problem, but we’d work something out. If you’re including video games as well as cartoons, the list grows significantly. ---

For me, it was the voice that was sexy and not the drawn artwork. There was one voice that when I heard it, I kept thinking “There’s a voice actress playing that part. Please be my age, please be my age!”. Because the character as drawn & played was way too young. But I always wondered what Ashley Spinelli would have been like in college… ---
