Some girls are bigger than others
Panels from: Rex Morgan, M.D., Beetle Bailey, and Blondie, 9/1/04
It’s safe to say that a substantial majority of cartoonists are men; inertia ensures that most of those men are middle aged. I know this because I can see the names on the strips and look up how long they’ve been writing them, but even if all I had to go on was the artwork, I think I could hazard a guess on the gender and age of the artists.
Let’s be blunt: cartoonists like to draw women with big tits. Today we have a bumper crop (so to speak), though it’s by no means far beyond the norm. At one end of the spectrum we have Beetle Bailey’s Miss Buxley (Miss Buxley! C’mon!), who’s drawn with a certain bathroom-wall crudity; there’s Blondie, who sits demurely through her dinner party, stylized, wasp-waisted, and looking like she’s going to tip over forward at any moment; and then we have Rex Morgan’s Heather, caught in photorealistic mid-jiggle, the shadow work on her mid-torso receiving almost as much attention from the artist as Rex’s chin cleft in the previous panel.
Now, I think it’s well-established that a substantial number of literary and artistic geniuses got their start by channeling frustrated sexual energy while in high school. How many great novels have been written varsity-letter quarterbacks? I’m hoping that this is the driving force behind all this buxomness, anyway, and that it isn’t all some incredibly misguided attempt by King Feature Syndicate to compete with Maxim. Heather’s nice looking and all, but I don’t think she’ll be hanging up on the wall of your local auto body shop anytime soon.

So is there any consensus is that:
Blondie has a great set and a tiny waist.
Miss Buxley has gone conservative and doesn’t show cleavage like the old days.
Sally Forth is small breasted but maybe the wildest in bed?
Spiderman’s wife may be the sexiest to look at.
Elizaabeth may be the sexiest (check out: http://www.fbofw.com/char_pgs/liz/ ) (remember, she moved in with a guy at university but wanted her own room, and the policeman stayed with her (in Mtigwaki, Northern Ontario) for a while.
Any other suggestions?

Wow. Front page news. Guys like big tits. Look, its not gonna change any time soon, get used to it. If you find it offensive, no-one is forcing you to read them.

Maybe it’s cuz I’m way behind on sleep, but for some reason, even though I recognized that there were indeed three different comics represented, I read those panels sequentially as some sort of postmodern mashup. Since the word balloon in the second panel is coming from offstage, I assume it’s still Mr., ummm, Mr. Dagwood’s Boss talking. “Time to go. Thank you so much for such a lovely evening…slumming.” I guess Rex wants to go slumming too, he’s just not sure where one would go for such a wonderful activity.

I have always been in lust over Blondie, Tootsie and Cookie as they have the biggest tits of all the cartoon women. But I also have a passion for Rose of the “Rose is Rose” comic strip. She has a great body especially when she goes into her “biker babe” alter-ego and her and hubby Jimbo still seem to get pretty sexual with each other.
