> [@TBG](#): > > Cite?šŸ˜ƒ I had to look this up- Laura Richmond appeared as Jessica Rabbit (only referred to on the cover as ā€œThat Torrid Toonā€) on the cover of the November 1988 issue. Disney had no comment on the matter, since as they put it, it wasnā€™t really Jessica Rabbit- just Playboyā€™s interpretation of her. ---

Hah, there are literally THOUSANDS of nude drawings of Marge online, most of them involving her and Bart having sex. Many were already around when I first got on the internet in 1994, and did my very first yahoo search for Simpsons websites. Am I just crazy, or did Playboy actually put Cartmanā€™s mom in a fake centerfold once? ---

> [@Curtis LeMay](#): > > Good Lordā€¦ > > Anyways Iā€™d think considering from my degree of knowledge in Cartoonology that Lois Griffin would be a far better candidate for this. If you want to see Lois naked, check out the DVD version of the episode where they smoke a lot of weed and become folk singers. ---

Well, the Simpsons and Playboy both jumped the shark years ago. And for my money, Iā€™d rather see Lois from Family Guy. ---

It should also be pointed out that Marge has posed (clothed) for _Maxim_ in the past. This is just a marketing gimmick, of course, but itā€™s getting people to talk about both the Simpsons and Playboy- which Iā€™m sure was the intention all along. Marge is pretty attractive for a fictional character, but I think she should have let her hair down for the cover- the beehive isnā€™t really that attractive. Maybe she will for the centerfold. ---

The issue has been released and the pictures can be found online- itā€™s certainly not what I expected. The illustrations (credited to layout artist Julius Preite) are certainly risquĆ©, but not overly so. The centerfold depicts Marge sitting on a bearskin rug holding a pile of donuts while wearing a pink see-through dress which reveals her breasts underneath. The interview and profile are done in the typical Simpsons style, as Marge explains sheā€™s no fan of _Playboy_ and the only reason she did this ā€œtasteful pictorialā€ was because sheā€™s donating all the money sheā€™s recieving for it to preserve historic gazebos. ---

The worst part is that, since thereā€™s not even a mock-up cover in the piece, you canā€™t go hunting for the rabbit head! I do like the fact that the picture has her holding a plate of doughnuts. And you can see Homerā€™s shadow. ---
