This is threadshitting. Don’t do it again. Also, keep out politics and jabs thereof in posts not remotely about them.

While I appreciate the John Willie sensibility, his women were always a little too-too for me.

Although that farm girl picking berries (in five inch strappy heels) WAS pretty enticing.

If she is willing to berry pick in five-inch heels–well, I guess she knows what she wants. [Shrug]

Berries, duh.

Her appeal in that one-pager was that she was even more naive than Gwendoline.

Not to mention her figure, that sunsuit, and those heels.

You will notice that I did not encourage anyone to mention Little Annie Fanny (of _Playboy_ Magazine), the quintessential stereotypical blond bimbo. I mean, you can take that sort of thing, up to a limit; she wound up naked in _every one_ of those stories!

I insured my car with the Auto Club, not Allstate. So there. 😛

I was being snarky. Obviously, the women in erotic cartooning are designed to be attractive but it’s really a different category than mainstream comics.

More or less: if it exists, there’s a porn version of it.

Well, that _ **is** _ outside the scope of my original question.

It would be impossible for me to choose between all the women Vaughn Bodē drew…so I choose them all.  
Cheech would have done the same.

I just can’t think of Delirium as attractive, even during her Tori Amos clone phase. The poor thing is just too broken. I want to give her a cup of tea and a blanket.

That said, I fully concur with Death. Rwaor.

For me, the most attractive is probably Jean Grey.
