Anyone drawn by Phil Foglio, especially in a [Xenophile](http://studiofoglio.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SF&Category_Code=Not_for_Kid_Stuff) mood. 🙂

OH, man, that’s funny by piling it on!

I’m glad I waited to read them all.

Oh, and my vote is for Betty from the Rocketeer:

I’d have to go with either Tonantzin or Penny Century from LOVE & ROCKETS.

Wow that’s… :dubious: 😛

I would note that in Japan–and I don’t mean just within geek circles, hands down [Mine Fujiko](http://www.animetoy.net/koyayosa/Y/ETC/Fujiko/DSC02549.JPG) from Lupin III is exactly equated to “what is sexy.” So that’s 50 or 60 million votes right there.

Personally, while I can say a particular drawing might be more or less sexy, no particular character strikes me as inherently so, so I can’t add any more than that.

The Miss Fairchild of [Gen13](http://www.asifa-hollywood.org/hello/603205/640/gen13-2005.07.21-20.34.56.jpg) and [Abbey Chase](http://www.nerdland.de/img_bg/images/Abbey_Chase-Devilz-Style.jpg) Danger Girl were pretty hot.

Folks, I have “de-linked” the stuff that’s not “workplace safe.” We have no problem with you providing url’s to almost anything, but we have lots of members who read the boards during work and we don’t want anyone clicking on something inadvertently.

Just announcing something is Not Workplace Safe is really not sufficient; it’s still possible for someone scrolling through fast to accidentally click on it. So, when you want to post a link that’s not workplace-safe, best is to uncheck the box that says “automatically parse links.” That way, you can give the URL but it won’t show up as a link, so there’s no chance of someone accidentally straying there.

For more info on policy, see [Forum Rules: PLEASE READ](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=343601) and note post #5.

Those of you who infringed, don’t worry about it, I’m not recording this. You did warn “NWS;” I just think that’s not enough.

Daisy Mae and then Blondie. Of course, Jessica Rabbit. But Dogpatch had some smokin’ hot women.

Only girls? The Op didn’t say women only, so I nominate Batman and then Nightcrawler.

I always had a soft spot for [Princess](http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art9952.asp) from Battle of the Planets (or Jun of Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman, in the original Japanese.) Sorry the link’s not so hot but it should jog your memory.

[Brandy](http://www.libertymeadows.com/uncens.htm) from Liberty Meadows really should be included somewhere here.

Safe for work, just prudish newspaper editors.

Ignore that headline. It was for an e-mail I was writing on the other screen. Really, Google for ‘Frank Cho’ he has some pretty comic book ladies.

Hmm. We seem to have similar tastes. I’m not sure about Batman, but Nightcrawler’s [daughter](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ab/Nocturnexcal.png/225px-Nocturnexcal.png) - yow!

That’s interesting…my Japanese wife’s maden name was also Mine (Japanese have last names first). As lovely as she is, she never looked like **that**! Nor did any of her relatives. 😃 Ah, well…
