The cartoon Playboy covers shown here may not be real, but maybe they should be. Last year, animated character Marge Simpson graced the cover, so maybe it's time for some other animated characters to follow suit.
Included among these cartoon Playboy covers are a few of the those female charactersâ€"with the exception of Fran the Dinosaurâ€"that can possibly make men go wild (well, that's what their features suggest). Certainly, there are other cartoon characters that guys are curious about.
Implications - These unpublished Playboy editions, which feature famous cartoon characters in compromising positions, were not approved for publishing, but are incredibly entertaining no less.
