We're not sure whether it's illustrators' perversions or just their awareness of our perversions, but one thing is clear: the women of animated TV tend to be hot in a never-in-real-life sort of way. Sure, if they were flesh and blood, they might be tipping over, but that's why it's fiction. Take Aisha Tyler's character from the new FX animated series Archer, Lana Kane. Holy T&A, network censors! Not only is the real-life Ivy-Leaguer gorgeous in person, but her 2-D counterpart gives new meaning to the phrase "must-see TV." And it got us thinking, who are some of our favorite women in TV animation? Hey, game characters float our boat, why not the ladies of cartoons and anime?
APRIL O'NEIL
CARTOON: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• She gets down with four turtles and a rat that live in the sewers. Literally. Hey, at least she's already comfortable with filth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BETTY RUBBLE and WILMA FLINTSTONE
CARTOON: The Flintstones
• The Stone Age is back...in our pants! HAHAHAHA THAT'S AN ERECTION JOKE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DAPHNE BLAKE
CARTOON: Scooby-Doo
• Unless you're this guy, we doubt you'll want to hear, "Jinkies!" when you're getting it. We've got nothing against glasses, but Daphne's the one we need some alone time with in the Mystery Machine.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEBBIE DUPREE
CARTOON: Sealab 2021
• Like Smurfette before her, Debbie is surrounded by dudes. The only difference is she's stuck inside a submarine. If you ever wanted to see Smurfette getting comfortable with some seamen, this is the woman for you!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOXXY LOVE
CARTOON: Drawn Together
• Who says animated embodiments of sexual stereotypes have no place in our fantasies? We'd just have to fight past Robert De Niro to get a shot at the hood princess.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS
CARTOON: Josie and the Pussycats
• Melody and Valerie are cute and all, but who's at the top of the heap? We'll take the head any day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LANA KANE
CARTOON: Archer
• "You want to do it again, and put on some interracial porn?" Yes. Always. Yes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MINDY SIMMONS
CARTOON: The Simpsons
• Playboy might have given Marge the cover, but Mindy—the only employee at the power plant whose ample twos don't come from donut consumption—is the one who we're truly rolling with.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OKIKU
CARTOON: Afro Samurai
• The Japanese shorty's tender ways and post-racial sensitivity make her one Japanese girl we can take to the mosque.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGI TSUKINO/SAILOR MOON
CARTOON: Sailor Moon
• This series was a veritable buffet line of hot anime characters (in school uniforms!). We like all the other sailors representing their respective Solar planets, but the moon just happens to be the closest one (that is not actually a planet), which makes the walk of shame much easier.
