She hasn't come up because the Betty and Veronica people usually fall in love with come from the comics, not the cartoons, because most of their beauty is lost to the necessities of animation.

But still acceptable as a choice in this thread. 
Dan Decarlo, the artist who created the definitive look of the Archie gang, was a major cheesecake artist back in the day. He did uncountable single-panel gag cartoons in adult magazines and it's quite easy to Google his pictures of women who look just like Betty and Veronica in negligees or less. I think there's at least one paperback collection as well.
My current animated obsession, yes I still have them is Re-L Mayer from Ergo Proxy, which I'm currently rewatching...
Better still, do the right Google search and you can catch his drawings of Betty and Veronica themselves naked. There's one particularly interesting shower scene out there...
...but this is a family BBS.

Oh my.
Interesting. I didn't know about that.
Yup, many cartoonists proved to be a bit more randy than the general public assumed. A few years ago a volume was published containing drawings by the co-creator of Superman. The illustrations depicted, uh, "restraint play" and the "partners" involved looked just like Lois Lane and Clark Kent/Superman with just a change of wardrobe. I think Kitchen Sink Press released it, but being at the office ATM, I can't verify.
At least one of the animators from Disney's "golden age" 9roughly the 1940s) had several nudes printed in a"Gutenburg Bible" sized coffee table book released in the late 80s, early 90s. It might have been Ward Kimble's saelections. (And this was a Disney sanctioned volume, not a small press, scandalous "tell all" book.
These guys had to "pay their bills" just like anyone else and most were not "pious celebates" who had never seen a woman. The biggest difference, "those" selections were just not as easily accessible by the general populace. You had to "know sombody who knew somebody" to find them.

Yeah, I remember that Joe Schuster book. I don't like bondage, so I never got it. I'm pretty sure I have the Dan DeCarlo book around somewhere, though.
But I never heard of that tabletop Gutenberg Bible. I'll have to track that down. I think I have an old collection of Tijuana Bibles around, but it's very bad, of historical interest only.
Almost all artists do nudes. Even Norman Rockwell did. It's just that our religious society has always been squeamish about it. Even today, in our allegedly more liberal culture, people get all panicky about nudity and sex.

I just dug out the tome. The full title is "Disney Animation: the Illusion of Life". Authored by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two from the "original team" of animators.
Ah! I found there's a short Wiki' article which contains the Library of Congress information and other facts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Animation:_The_Illusion_of_Life
It's a bit older than I remembered, first published in 1981. That's the version I own. It was republished several years later with some additional material. But even the first edition is a heavy sucker at 575 pages. It appears to be readily available through Amazon at , meh, "reasonable" prices.
Page 121 (in the first edition) is the page containing a montage of pinup type illos by a Fred Moore. There may be a few other pages with drawings by other artists, but I had that page bookmarked. So don't get the book expecting it to be cover to cover filled with nude toons. It's a "family friendly" retrospective about the ever evolving art of animation. Just providing a caveat for any planned efforts.

My first cartoon crush was Rogue from the X-Men cartoon. Imagine my dismay when they cast the absolutely plain looking Anna Paquin to play the character in the live action movie 
I'm not going to lie, I'm 35 and I have two cartoon crushes at this very moment. One is Lana Kane and the other is Cheryl Tunt, both from Archer.

Thanks for the heads up. It sounds like a good book either way.
If you run a Google or Bing search for "Fred Moore" and select "images", you'll get the pin-up illos from the "Illusion of Life" book as well as a lot of others. Apparently, Moore designed the "centaurettes" (female centaurs) we saw in "Fantasia". He also drew the "malt shop" girls from the theatrical short "All the Cats Join In".
The guy didn't live long. Born in 1911, he died in 1952 at just 41 years. I wonder how much more he might have influenced later cartoonists and animators had he been with us longer?

I won't tease because I had my eye on Cleo. She was my "gateway" interest that got me intrigued with "petting zoo people" (using the term promoted at TV Tropes). Though considering the art that gets the media attention, maybe that term should be "heavy petting zoo people".

My cartoon crush in elementary school was Hector from the Heathcliff TV series.
Don't laugh. OK, go ahead. I'm laughing myself right now.
You know, I never thought about it before, but for some reason, appearance-wise, Hector reminds me of Ryan Stiles.

Yeah, Cleo was cute!
Wow, that's a shame. I'm seeing some really beautiful art there.
^^ Groovy.
