I'm really embarrassed right now. I could've sworn I posted yesterday's show, but I guess I didn't. Nevertheless, let's explore some examples that prove that Yes, It Can Be Done!
I love talking about The Powerpuff Girls on this blog. The mere fact that the animator's weren't cowards means there's a lot of potential for humorous nude situations involving these girls, and no one really seemed to mind until this whole thing became a big deal.
Case in point, at one point, Persil, a brand of detergent sold in the United Kingdom, ran a special promotion with Cartoon Network and Powerpuff Girls in early 2002 to have the Girls appear on boxes of Persil, with a bunch of PPG stickers included as well. But there was also a contest for the whole thing, the objective being to go to a special micro-site and find the Girls' clothes, having been stolen by Mojo Jojo. The winner would win glamorous prizes like a Game Boy Advance, some Read More »

This guy may very well be one of my favorite loli artists for one simple reason: his anatomy. He has a particular way of drawing lolis that is very "cartoony", which in my eyes is good at dissolving sexuality and making them seem more cute. That this pic is a funny swimsuit mishap picture makes it all the better. Just watch out, this could be you!

Children are beautiful, and it used to be that everyone knew it. Photographers used to take pictures of children in the nude not to sexualize them, but to more fully appreciate them, capture them in their natural environment. The kids didn't mind, and the nature of the photoshoot meant it wasn't exploitation. This picture sorta reminds me of those photoshoots in a way, what with the striking pose and camera angle, only it's done with a character from animation, meaning the one thing people complain about these days, that real kids could be harmed, is not an issue since the kid doesn't really exist. Of course, I've seen that logic used to justify worse things...

So the second remake picture just came in a few days ago, so I'm posting it here so everyone knows. It seems Krizeii, the artist, took some influence from the original Xierra version, though I'm not quite sure where he could've found it, and quite frankly, I don't think I wanna know.
Side note, anyone else think Dexter looks just a tad bit more sexualized than normal? He's got a bit more detailed anatomy than he usually gets in identical situations. Well, I guess pedophilia is okay if the subject is a boy, am I right?

Ah, the joys of having to plan out every week in advance. All this and more especially in light of a big announcement. Ah, the things I do for love...
So here we have a Billy and Mandy as Adam and Eve pic. I love this series for having a creative cover for Mandy's chest, specifically that wreath around her. Also love the way Mandy is drawn here, it's just so cute. This series is all the work of one artist and one colorist, and the two... don't seem to have any relation. Ah, well, any chance to see enhanced versions of already good art is its own reward...

Ah, the joys of hypocrisy and double standards. Let's explore some of those double standards as we look at a time an animator once again stepped in and said "No Girls Allowed!"
I don't often cover Nicktoons on this blog. That's because I've historically been more of a Cartoon Network fan. But when you peruse through the internet, you stumble across things that lead you to other things which lead you to either glory or disappointment. In this case, we have the latter.
That stumbling was upon a Nicktoon from the olden days called KaBlam!, an anthology series that showcased a series of animated shorts from different animators in different styles. It's kind of like What A Cartoon! except with series intended to always be shorts instead of just being pilots, although one series from that show, Read More »

I think I may be just a little too busy, skipping out several days. On the other hand, looks like the image size limit just got larger, so I can post some full-size stuff!
This pic is fun! It's official art from a magazine, and it may just be the most revealing official art of the PPGZ. I'm glad they spent it on something as cute as this, what with the Girls enjoying a nice onsen trip. Though I'm surprised Kaoru is taking this so well, given who she's supposed to be...

I was having some trouble deciding if I wanted to post a Simpsons pic and a PPG entry in this, or the previous pic along with this example, but due to the nature of our upcoming big announcement, I went with the one I already did for good reason. It's another example that proves that Yes, It Can Be Done!
The Simpsons is so much a merchandising juggernaut they made fun of that fact all the way back in Season 3. Today, merchandise is the only thing keeping the show alive, as it'll run until, in the words of Troy MacLure "the show becomes unprofitable." And sometimes, specific countries get their own unique material, of have the family endorse their own products, like the Japanese and C. C. Lemon.
Today's subject comes from France, a commercial for their version of Tide, called Vizir. Marge buys some at a supermarket to clean off the stains on the family's clothes. By the time she's hanging them out to dry outside, Homer, Bart, and Lisa get to see the fruits of that labor. They're also naked, and as the clothes fly off the rope because Bart pulled them too far, we see much of Homer, Bart... and Lisa in the nude. Bart shows his wiener before the movie, though it's more abstract than that per request of show creator Matt Groening. Lisa shows a lot, too, covering herself with that cover I so adore and running off to the distance, showing her butt for a few frames. Read More »

I thought it be best if we close out the week with one of my favorite pictures. These girls are just so cute and from a series that's full of cute moments, I knew I had to include them at some point. As for the pic, it's pretty funny that the girls are holding clothes in front of them when they themselves aren't wearing any. I guess they needed to inspect the laundry before putting it on!

More of our golden girl Lynn with this one. Part of the difficulty in finding pictures to post is that I don't have as many folders as maybe I should have, but I have a massive base folder full of unlabeled stuff that everything without a folder goes into. Finding pics for toons is easy for the first few days since I can look in a folder. The last two? Not so much.
Oh, the pic! This is a great example of a girl getting into a nudity-related pickle. You can tell some chain of events must've happened that conspired to make her suffer in embarrassment. Special note goes to the band-aids; probably one of the best methods of censorship the Japanese came up with, they work great for Lynn because she's a sportsgirl and is expected to have a few some places. Guess she took some personal injuries... Read More »

I don't often get to show Dexter's Mom on this show. That's because the artists drew her in such a way that she sparked something of fetishization in the public, so most art I find of her is sexual. This art is good, though, since it takes care to make her look not too fetishy, and is mostly a humorous gag where she loses her bath towel, something we've seen many times. The soap bubbles also do a good job hiding those sensitive bits of her from view, making this picture probably the one example of Dex's mom I can post. Don't get too used to seeing her, boys!

I didn't want to post this, but our upcoming situation forced my hand. It's time to talk about the ladies with some Mature Musings!
After so many years on the air, Fox new The Simpsons was a juggernaut, and seemed to be the only animated success on the channel. So the idea to create new animated shows for the network was simply to copy it, and this is how Mike Judge created the topic for today, King of the Hill. The big thing to separate the show was that it starred a family of conservative Texans, who tended to be portrayed as behind the times, but ultimately well-meaning. The big draw behind this show was that it was mostly true to life. In fact, the animation was its biggest advantage, since the numerous quotable lines could be attributed to the animation rather than being a knock against the show for being unrealistic. Read More »

Why am I always late...
Don't know why I like this pic so much. Something about it seems very cute. Maybe it's Dee Dee's expression, or the way she's drawn. Either way, on-model stuff is the best.

Most of the time the deer-in-headlights look comes from the girl themselves when they get caught in the nude. However, with this little scamp here, she outright comes to the door like that, after presumably stepping right out of the bath, and it's the pizza boy who has that expression. Let's face it, if you were put in this same situation, you'd probably have the same face. I just hope that pizza hasn't gotten cold.

Geez, at this rate I'm gonna be updating two entries per day... College is hard!
Anyway, have another Billy and Mandy Adam and Eve pic! Love the way the eyes just point at the obvious differences. At some point, that particular difference is gonna be made clear anyway, so I feel it's fine to make jokes about it since it's just biology. Of course, certain things are also biology, but then...

I was debating whether or not to post this here, but I decided to for a couple of reasons: This was the original artist's intent for the picture, and the forum he posted it to because DeviantArt took some of his older PPG loli down was a public one before it crashed. So I feel it's justified posting it here, since it used to be quite public.
As for the picture, what makes it all work is the final panel, or rather, the stretching of the panel providing a unique form of cover that really only comics can provide. Better than a bedsheet!

A theater in my area was just recently showing My Neighbor Totoro, and I went to the Japanese showing. The movie is just as good as ever, and is absolutely adorable. And, as said before, the whole audience got through the bath scene no problem, proving once again that this whole thing doesn't have to be a big deal. So, in honor of that showing, have this fanart. Though, maybe I should've posted it the actual day of the show...

I thought I posted this one already. I guess not.
This is a great example of simplified anatomy. The proportions and details of Lola here's body are done in such a way to look cute, silly, and completely nonsexual, and not just in the anatomy we immediately recognize: note the literal flat feet. It's really great that this artist decided to keep her anatomy simple like the original cartoon. You can definitely tell what the person who sees her is saying. "What're you doing?! You can't go out looking like that!"

Picked this one for the family bonding experience of the whole thing. The Japanese tend to be very casual about bathing together, especially with kids of a certain age, as my last anime example clearly showed. Of course, not all is well here; from the looks of things, we've got some problems with soap in the eyes, and a struggling little boy who doesn't want to participate. Then there's the phantom in the background watching in on their private time; is this house haunted? All in all, this is probably one of my favorite pictures, so I'm glad I decided to share it today.

I'm back, everyone! Some time has passed, but I'm ready to get back to business as usual. Now, where were we?
This picture is fun. It's a nice little reversal of Bart Simpson's notable naked skate in the movie. The addition of Milhouse is fun because it adds another layer to Lisa's humiliation. Then again, they'd practically need a movie to see Lisa nude, given what Bart showed in it...
