Forget actual women – what we all want to know is who are the sexiest cartoon characters.

Now you might think that the above statement is a bit odd. And you would be fully justified in thinking that. It is an odd idea for a list and we blame editor and general sick puppy Stuart Heritage for even coming up with the idea in the first place.

But what you need to understand is this is not just some stupid list of drawings designed to spark titillation, nostalgia and debate. No, this is far more important than that.
It stands to reason that if you are going to draw a woman, you might as well make her the hottest thing you possibly can. So therefore, to think of this as just another stupid list would be wrong. This is a social commentary on how men’s tastes in women have changed over the years, or something.

Now, judging by the fact that even cavemen drawings of women involved huge breasts, it’s fair to say that men’s thinking has not changed all that much.

But you would be very wrong. In fact, judging by this list, some men also want their women to have unfeasibly large heads, one big eye and yellow skin. But who are we to judge?

Anyway, just so you know, we have tried to stay clear of Anime and characters in adverts, so no Babycham deer and the Cadbury’s bunny (cheap hussies), before you ask. Sit back and enjoy.

26. Tinkerbell
Cartoon: Peter Pan

Just look at the wings on her.

25. Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn
Cartoon: Batman: The Animated Series

OK, we admit it, we are cheating by putting these two together, but don’t they look cute together? Batman watch out.

24. Storm
Cartoon: X-Men

Now that’s what I call a weather girl.

23. Esmeralda
Cartoon: Hunchback of Notre Dame

You have to love her gypsy charms.

22. Lois Griffin
Cartoon: Family Guy

OK, we know this is a bit of an odd choice, but as her husband puts it, she’s a “a foul venereal disease-carrying, street-walking whore”.

21. April O’Neil
Cartoon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Gotta love that yellow jump suit.

20. Cartman’s mum
Cartoon: South Park

OK, she may not much to look at, but she is one dirty mother.

19. Turanga Leela
Cartoon: Futurama

OK, so she has one eye. Everything else looks normal.

18. Aeon Flux
Cartoon: Aeon Flux

Love that outfit.

17. Mary Jane Watson
Cartoon: Spider-Man

You have to say, toothless Kirsten Dunst never did her credit.

16. Selena Kyle/ Catwoman
Cartoon: Batman The Animated Series

Meow.

15. Princess Jasmine
Cartoon: Aladdin

Forget the fact she is in a Disney film, those eyes tell a different story.

14. Pocahontas
Cartoon: Pocahontas

One of Disney’s sexiest-ever characters.

13. Jem
Cartoon: Jem and the Holograms

They’re like The Bangles – only more than one of them is attractive. Bonus!

12. Ariel
Cartoon: The Little Mermaid

She’s certainly cute, but lack of lady parts is a problem. No fishy jokes please.

11. Betty Boop
Cartoon: Betty Boop

One of the oldest, but still one of the best.

10. Black Cat
Cartoon: Spider-Man

OK, no pussy jokes either.

9. The Baroness
Cartoon: GI Joe

Sienna Miller will not do her credit.

8. Penelope Pitstop
Cartoon: Wacky Races; The Perils of Penelope Pitstop

OK, so you have to lose the dwarfs, but it would be worth it.

7. Smurfette
Cartoon: The Smurfs

So did Smurfs actually have genitals? Because if they did, Smurfette, being the only blue girl in town, must have a got a lot of attention. Or was she just a ladyboy?

6. Cheetara
Cartoon: Thundercats

She’s just purr-fect.

5. Evil-Lyn
Cartoon: He-Man

Everyone likes a bad girl.

4. Marge Simpson
Cartoon: The Simpsons

Being stuck with Homer for so long, you know she has no standards at all.

3. Daphne
Cartoon: Scooby Doo

If ever there you wondered if Fred was gay or not, just consider the fact he wore a cravat and never tried to hit on the sexy redhead.

2. Betty Rubble
Cartoon: The Flintstones

How could they possibly have cast Rosie O’Donnell?

1. Jessica Rabbit
Cartoon: Who Framed Roger Rabbit

A clear winner. Roger Rabbit is one lucky rabbit.
