That said, as far as Girl Genius is concerned, Agatha is my favorite girl in that comic. When she goes all Madgirl, or when she drinks coffee, she reminds me a LOT of a girl I dated in college (interestingly, the one who introduced me to this comic recently) ---

I don’t believe being caught in flagrante delicto with a consenting adult cartoon character is cause for shame; even if you were to choose my option #3 (i.e. inter-dimensional-realm-of-reality sex). Now, if your choice of fabricated fornication flame were, say Bambi, then the added moral deficiency inherent with interspecies pedophilia would certainly qualify as a potential cause for shame, unless you live somewhere with more relaxed standards of conduct…like France. ---

> [@Ludovic](#): > > Penny here as well, in my younger days. Now, just her voice when I’m not looking at the TV (taken apart from the image of a little girl, it’s obvious she’s voiced by a sultry woman!) I went looking for who voiced her (wondering if perhaps she was voiced by a sweaty middle aged man) and found that two people voiced her: [Cree Summer](http://www.martinipink.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/cree-summer.jpg), who was, if my calculations are correct, 14 at the time (but now definitely a hottie), and Holly Berger, who was 10/11 at the time (I didn’t find a picture). So, actually, not really a sultry woman in either case. ---

> [@Jman](#): > > Mentioned many times already, but:Lois Griffin. 🙂 Man I’ll third, fourth, whatever that motion (I like eating red carpet!) I’ll happily turn down Marge Simpson though. I was tempted to start a thread about how Lois is the only sitcom wife I’d regard as a MILF. Since we started with an 80s cartoon character, I’ll throw in another, Athina the Zotran from Ulysses 31. I don’t know why, just… :o ---

Hee, great thread. For me, Aramis (I think) from _Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds_. The spaniel one anyway. A friend of mine also admitted this to me once when she was a bit tipsy, and we then looked at each other in horror and said, Do you think that’s why we go for guys with long hair? 🙂 ---

When I was 15 or so, I had a big crush on Avalanche from X-Men: Evolution. That probably makes the top 5 list of “Things about my life I’m ashamed of.” ---

Whoops. Getting to the party late. As my username indicates, I’m an Otaku. Of course I have had cartoon crushes. Probably my first was either [Rook Bartley](http://mx.geocities.com/ben_zaa_mx/macross/mospeada/fuke1.jpg) or [Nova Satori](http://www.absoluteanime.com/robotech/nova%5B2%5D.jpg) from Robotech. From there the pattern seems to have been set: Tough, combative and often misfit females got my attention. [Danielle Moonstar](http://www.freewebs.com/secondary-characters/mirage.gif) [Illyana Rasputin](http://www.zonanegativa.com/2007/1332.jpg) [Nausicaa](http://www.concretebadger.net/images/blog/editorials/nausicaa-manga-art.jpg) [Fio Piccolo](http://www.blog-city.info/fr/img2/2587_film_23.jpg) Captain Min Ataka (Rats, can’t find any of her.) [Misaki Matsuya](http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/6/8205.jpg) [Ifurita](http://www.hamanime.de/pix/anime/elh/ifurita.jpg) (Bugs Bunny: “So she’s mechanical.”) Then there were the crazy crushes. [Washyuu](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/washu610/images/Washyuu95.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/washu610/washu.html&h=470&w=630&sz=43&hl=en&start=12&sig2=wRkDWpbbdoecz8BxoGIVaw&usg=___hje_7HacV9Z6O1nYUHWG3kMy3A=&tbnid=ipo0Qpahv5OW6M:&tbnh=102&tbnw=137&ei=0bUXSZX-J56eeYD4haMH&prev=/images%3Fq%3DWashyuu%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DG) comes to mind. (For her I’d break my otherwise iron-clad rule about being the crazy one in any relationship I might be in.) As does [Hongo Yui](http://celesstar.osiriscomm.com/anime/fy/yuisingle.gif). Finally, in my maturity I’ve come to admit that there is just one anime woman for me: Kurata Misako. Sane, but pretends to be crazy. Literate and stubborn. And devious, too. What’s not to love? 😃 (Though she’s another with few images on the web.) ---
