I have always been a fan of the work of Hanna Barbara, since the Tom and Jerry cartoons, they were great. And I let it slide that they plagiarize (see The Honeymooners, birth of little Ricky on I Love Lucy, Sgt. Bilko, etc.) a lot of their work, I grow up on their cartoons, and it is shame they don't make great cartoons like HB anymore.

Anyway one of the things Hanna Barbara did was be a pioneer is really making the characters be hot despite being cartoon characters, especially the female characters. (Betty Bop did it first I guess, but that is so before my time and I wasn't a fan, reguardless in between that, animated characters especially females weren't really hot). Also back in those days, there were more male characters dressed in drag (Bugs Bunny for example) than actual female characters. And espcially human female characters.

From Betty Rubble to Judy Jetson, from Daphne Blake to Penelop Pitstop, and of course Josie and The Puzzycats, and so many more. They were all hot in their own way, even the house wives. Though I draw the lines at Fred Flintstones mother in law and Mrs. Spacely.

HB knew how to make cartoon characters beautiful despite being cartoon characters, and I liked that they didn't over sex them for example Jessica Rabbit or the girl from Cool World.

Anyway what female HB characters did you think were hot?

        Thanks for your possible replies, I am glad not everyone thinks it is unreasonable to find beauty in cartoon characters.

        Here are my top picks in no particular order:

        Judy Jetson (The Jetsons)
        Daphne Blake (Scooby Doo)
        Penelope Pitstop (Wacky Races)
        Jossie, Melody, and Valerie (Josie and The Pussycats)

          The Teen Angels (Captain Caveman)
          Daphne (Scooby Doo)


          I agree with those choices. I have to add Nicara from the 13 ghosts of Scooby-Doo too.

            I don't think these count, since HB never created Josie and the Pussycats, they just made the series.

            Anyway, my picks are Daphne and Penelope Pitstop.

              That lady from the Jetsons was hot, the mom. And the daughter.

                  And I quote:
                  they decided to go to the source and contacted Archie Comics about possibly adapting one of their remaining properties into a show similar to The Archie Show. Archie Comics responded by offering to re-develop their comic Josie into a TV series about a teenage music band, allowing Hanna-Barbera to adapt it into a music-based Saturday morning show

                    Jane and Judy, in that order

                    also, you ever notice how in the flintstones and the jetsons the bosses have to go D:< ANGRY NERD at the slightest provocation, for little reason?
