Ooh. I had a crush on Princess, too – but only when she was in costume.

That could’ve turned into a fetish …

Oooh. How did she slip my mind? And I also forgot [Nova](http://www.slackerastronomy.org/slackerpedia/index.php/Nova) from Star Blazers.

Now that I think about it, I think most of my early lusts were cartoon characters. Geez, I’m a perv.

I have to admit that I had a small crush on Martyn back when the strip began. Jeph’s art style has changed since then, though, and I just don’t find modern Martyn as cute as old Martyn was.

Oh yeah. Shame that Michael Turner passed away.

Well, _Kim Possible_ graduated from High School, so she’s 18+, & not jailbait.  
_Shego_, from the same show.  
_Mrs Dr Anne Possible_, cartoon MILF.  
_Elastigirl_ has classic Toon booty.  
_The Baroness_. Black leather catsuited Eastern European Schoolmistress/Dominatrix. On a kids’ show. How the Hell did they manage that?

Lois Griffin by a mile!

There’s an episode with a quick scene of her and Peter dressed in leather S/M gear where she closes his face mask and punches him into bed.

MMMMMmmmmmmmm…!

Boo Cat and Licorice Dust made putting up with the lousy writing of that book worthwhile… Raven just makes me :dubious: though.

Terry McGinnis (another batman iteration)

And my brother used to have this video game in the late 90s, Soul Caliber? One of the characters was pretty nice looking. I kept hoping he was based on an actor.

Presuming you mean the first Soul Cal game… (Soul Cal II is 2002, and Soul Edge would be hard to confuse with Soul Cal if you’ve partially forgotten it…)

Blond guy with a big sword? (Siegfried)  
BIG guy with a hammer? (Rock)  
Bare-chested Japanese guy with a katana? (Mitsurugi)  
Indian with a staff? (Kilik)  
Chinese guy with a [Dao](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dao_(sword))? (Hwang)  
Guy who looks like Elvis with nunchucks? (Maxi)  
Pirate with a sword with a gun built in? (Cervantes)

The other male characters are kind of disturbing looking, on the whole, so I’ll assume it’s one of them. \>\_\>

Okay, I just had to respond to this again, because of the cover showing Cherry’s friend as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and the obvious takeoff on the art style of Dan DeCarlo, who is best known for establishing the art style of Archie Comics. I was just at the grocery store a little bit ago, and there on the rack near the checkstand was a Betty & Veronica digest with a cover that depicted Betty as Dorothy, Archie as The Scarecrow, Jughead as The Tin Man, Reggie as the Cowardly Lion, and Veronica as the Wicked Witch of the West 😛

Oh, and let me add Betty & Veronica as cartoon characters I’ve been attracted to 🙂
