America’s Top Toon-A-MILF-The Final Day!

The numbers themselves are staggering, Over 20,000 viewers, over 600 voters, but when it comes down to it its all about our six finalists. Mama Katzenjammer has barely got a vote (Hi, Mike Lynch!) and was the subject of child beating accusations. Bambi’s Mom fared a little better, but certainly isn’t out of the woods yet. Lois Griffin is just a wee-bit ahead of Bambi’s Mom. Betty Rubble has been gaining more and more votes the last few days but still trails behind our two front runners.

There’s the big story; Alice Mitchell, Dennis the Menace’s mom and Morticia Addams of the Addams: dead tied with each having garnered 29% of the votes. With only a few hours to go till the 5:00 contest closing who will win between those two? Blond or Brunette? Suburban sexy or Spooky sultry?

Or is there a rumbling in the hearts of the uncommitted voters, or should we say Rubble. Betty Rubble, in a last effort, some will say a deplorable desperate attempt, has sent in a salacious photo with instructions to post it “for my fans”.

The drawings of Alice below are from a model sheet by her creator Hank Ketcham. The drawings of Morticia are special drawings done by Charles Addams for flaps of his books. And then there’s that Betty pic that has origins unknown.

The last remaining voters will scroll down to May 13th, our Mother’s Day post wherehem to vote in these last remaining hours! Then I’ll see you at 5:00 p.m. New York time for the exciting results!!!

It’s Doll Man Monday!

Sure we’re all excited about the “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF-Battle of the Cartoon Moms!” contest and how after 600 votes Alice Mitchell and Morticia Addams are exactly tied with each having 29% of the vote. Voting will continue today with the results announced at 5:00. But, meanwhile, we can’t forget little Doll Man because every Monday is Doll Man Monday at the Arf Blog. Here’s a great cover. Is that a typical comic book bad guy or is that villain a cheap actor from an old porn movie? Is that really cement that is about to make Doll Man hard or is that visual symbolism for spunk? We’re not going to vote on these questions but, Arf Lover and Doll Man fan, what do you think?!?

Toon-A-MILF…CATFIGHT!

The “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF-Battle of the Cartoon Moms” contest could have easily slipped into the tawdry, the salacious, the unseemly. But, we’re proud to say that it has been a been a classy, dignified affair that has taken the high road-until now! ***CATFIGHT***!!!

In THAT spirit, following is some of Morticia’s and Alice’s best cartoons. You, Arf Lovers, are going to decide the winner. Do you want the wholesome yet very sexy, curvy blonde homemaker, Alice Mitchell? Or do you go to the dark side with the original Goth Girl, dark haired sultry and romantic Morticia Addams?

Or, heck, if you want to vote for Mama Katzenjammer, Lois Griffin or Bambi’s Mom it’s a free country and it’d be tres exciting to have an upset. Whatever way you swing, just scroll down to the Sunday May 13th post and exercise your right to decide now.

Kremos of the Crop!

America’s Top Toon-A-MILF” contest has been a wild thrill ride with now over 500 voters! And this “Battle of the Cartoon Moms” has Morticia Addams and Alice Mitchell neck to neck (now THERE’S a thought!). We welcome folks coming from The Beat and Drawn.ca. Be sure and scroll down this page cast your important vote below.

I’ll be announcing the beautiful winner at the end of the day Monday!

Speaking of sexy toons, I’m nuts about the hot drawings by an unknown genius cartoonist/animator named Kremos. I tracked Kremos down and called him a few years back when I was in Italy. It was a great thrill to talk to this master of the female form before he passed on. I picked up my own Kremos Girl, my hot Italian wife, at the airport last night who was coming back from a trip to Rome. In addition to smuggling the usual chocolate and Parmigiano cheese through customs she also brought me this contra-band photo of Kremos.

I feature Kremos in the Arf Forum book hitting stores and Bud Plant and Amazon as we speak. In this third book in the Arf series I have many more photos plus sketches and info on Kremos’ salad days with his boyhood pal Fellini. And, of course, a generous amount of full page drawings of color, lush girlie cartoons of the 1950s. (And a stunning two page spread cartoon with fifty Italian beauties at the beach). Plus especially for Arf Forum Playboy cartoonist Dean Yeagle, himself an amazing illustrator of women, did a caricature of Kremos painting a sexy young thang. Can’t wait? I’ll share a couple cartoons here that I couldn’t fit in Arf Forum. Enjoy already.

It’s Wacky Wonder Woman Wednesday

Welcome to our thousands of new readers that came to see the “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF-Battle of the Cartoon Moms!’ contest. Just scroll below for all the excitement and to register your vote. Every Wednesday is Wacky Wonder Woman Wednesday at the Arf Lovers Blog. Today’s no different, but in honor of the occasion I have a special WWWW MILF. I’m not sure which is more damaging to young lads, being beaten by a mom like Mama Katzenjammer (see yesterday’s post) or having Mom going around dressed up like Wonder Woman. Both pretty darn scary!

Scandal Rocks Toon-A-MILF Contest: Mama Katzenjammer Alleged Child Beater!

The “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF-Battle of the Cartoon Moms” Contest (scroll below) has been rocked with scandal with photos being posted all over the internet of Mama Katzenjammer by all appearances brutally beating the Katzenjammer Kids. A representative of The Arf Lover’s Blog has issued this statement: “We don’t advocate or in any way support child abuse, in fact we’re against it. But, having said that, the Toon-A-MILF contest has never been about parenting skills. For that matter even our most popular Toon MILF so far in the contest, Dennis’ mom Alice Mitchell, has raised a child well known as a menace. If these allegations are true we do urge Mama Katzenjammer to seek professional help, a good anger managment therapy group would definitely be in order. But, if you want WEIRD, how about that Morticia Addams?!”

The public reaction to Katzenjammer has been harsh, they have simply not voted for Mama, in fact she’s gotten less votes than Bambi’s mom. One blogger has been quoted as saying “Moma’s one lone vote isn’t because of the allegations Mama Katzenjammer is a child beater, but because she’s grotesquely fat and ungodly ugly”. For whatever reasons the German community has been quick to disassociate themselves from Ms. Katzenjammer. Mama Katzenjammer could not be reached for comment, she was busy wailing on her incorrigible brats with a big wooden stick.

=W*A*R*N*I*N*G: GRAPHIC PICTURE OF ALLEGED CHILD BEATING FOLLOWS!=


Good disciplinarian or child beater?


Are the men in Mama Katzenjammer’s life enablers?

Voting for the “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF” contest (scroll below) will continue through the week with the winner being announced next Monday.

Meanwhile, the beginning of every week is Doll Man Monday at the Arf Lovers Blog. So that Doll Man doesn’t get lost in all the Toon-A-MILF hysteria I’m presenting his kinkiest cover EVER!

Craig: Welcome back. They’re toons, they’re tantlizing and they’re here on their day, Mother’s Day!

First, the Flintstones next door neighbor, the comely cave dweller and our first hot mom! She’s married to the shorty Barney, but she has no shortage of admirers. Her perky smile and sweet squeak of a voice has been winning fans since the 1960s. Please welcome to the Toon-A-MILF stage…Betty Rubble!

Jerry: Betty, you are very hot!

Heidi: Betty your fashion is a little too retro. With your great coloring and figure, I’d like to see you lose the hair bow – it’s way too young for you. Also how about some color in your dress? I see you in some highly tailored looks, maybe Calvin Klein or Rebecca Taylor.

John: Thanks for dressing up. What is that thing, a blue throw-rug? It’s clear why Bamm-Bamm was adopted — your husband probably never goes near you.

Craig: I guess John doesn’t subscribe to the philosphy of “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all!”

Our next contestant is a tow-headed toon that parents a real menace but always looks great. The shapely, languid-eyed beauty…Alice Mitchell! Give her a hand please!


Jerry: Alice, How could you marry that Nerd!

Heidi: A I’d like to see you get a little more adventurous with your hair, Alice, and venture outside the “Madonna for H&M” look for her wardrobe. And lose the bows! Why is it always the bows? You’re a mom, not a lady lawyer in an 80s movie. You have a good figure, show it off in a classy way with some Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney.

John: Nice set of legs, Alice, but that’s about it. Where’s the personality? It’s a wonder Ketcham didn’t always draw you from just the waist down.

Craig: Uh, okay, John, speaking of “waste”, your comments sure are!

Mamma Katzenjammer has been called a Big Beautiful Woman has buns and a bun that just wont quit. Her mono-bosom is a big presence in comic strips and now Mama will fill out the Toon-A-MILF stage, give it up for…Mama!

Jerry: Sloppy seconds…

Heidi: Oh boy. Where to begin? Mama Katzenjammer you seem to think growing older is a jail sentence – and you’re the “screw”! The hairdo is way too severe – in fact it’s scary. A haircut and maybe switching to an open toed shoe would be a good start. Again with the fussy bows. A boatneck or scoop neck top would be a great way to loosen up her look without dressing too young.

John: We always see you with a rolling pin, Mama, but we never see any baked goods. You’re clearly eating everything the minute it comes out of the oven, aren’t you, fatty?

Craig: Thank you, Mama Katzenjammer. I wonder where Mama Martz was when John was supposed to be learning manners?!

Our next contestant has family values in spades, ADDAMS’ family values! Let’s go to the dark side and give a warm applause to our next Top Toon Mom hopeful…Morticia Addams! By the way, I see Thing in the front row…so THAT’S the sound of one hand clapping!

Jerry: I love it when you speak French!

Heidi: Morticia you are a very beautiful woman and obviously knows what works for your style, but I think it’s become a “dead end” for you. Come on girl, how about a hint of color? With your pale coloring you need to be careful about getting washed out and looking like a corpse, so you might want to invest in a good bronzer. I think you’d look great in a t-shirt and some Seven jeans for a weekend look.

John: Heidi, she should forget the bronze already! Morticia, just got outside and get some sun, why doncha?

Craig: John, you need to stay HOME more!

Speaking of home…homemaker, wife, popular star on the Fox Network, put your hands together for Fox-y…Lois Griffin!

Jerry: I never watch your show.

Heidi: With a family like yours, I’m amazed you haven’t starred in a remake of “The Burning Bed” but you’re made of tougher stuff, I guess. Nonetheless, you need to break out of your working mom clothes. The preppy look only goes so far. Some great accessories would freshen up your look.

John: Wait a minute… you’re a woman? Everybody on your show is so hideously drawn, it’s hard to tell who’s what.

Craig: Well, John, I’m not sure YOU could tell your elbow from your assine comments!

Anyway…she’s out of the woods, she’s a doe-eyed beauty with true animal magnetism, please make a loud-clapping noise for…Bambi’s Mom!

Jerry: Nice legs!

Heidi: The animal print look can really be overdone and far too trend conscious, but I think it’s a natural here! Well done, and the best of the bunch by far.

John: Drop dead gorgeous.

Craig: Well, Mr. Martz, it astounds me how an arbiter of taste can be so tasteless.

Now the REAL arbiters of taste, you the viewers, will decide who is going to be crowned “America’s Top Toon-A-MILF! Simply click below, Arf Lovers, your vote counts! And be sure and let our Toon-A-MILF finalists know what you think-and let the judges know what you think of THEM, too-in our handy comments section below!
