The only cartoon character I ever got hot and bothered over as a kid was Olive Oyl, and Francesca from "Mad Monster Party" (although I'm not sure Francesca counts; she was a puppet, but, man oh man!...what a puppet!).

Interesting how often this name comes up in this context. I've seen at least two standup comics and more than a couple scenes in movies or tv that reference how hot Betty was.

Based on that, 4 stars, although she doesn't do much for me.

Oh, Bam-Bam indeed!! Brunettes usually don't expose the bone in this reviewer, but a *bonk* on the head and a few cave charades make Betty Rubble a prehistoric pick. She was far more trusting and forgiving than that miserable neighbor Wilma was, and wasn't so concerned about the physical failings of her men (note the enlarged-pupil, height-challenged Barney). Dressed provocatively, with that blue animal skin cut mid-way up the thighs, matching bow, and a choker necklace smartly set with a single pale stone. Ever notice her makeshift appliances worked better than Wilma's, as well? All that, and she was able to handle a kid with the strength of two mastadons (that HAD to translate back into the sack!). Betty was bedrock, baby.

I respect that Barney found her first. For now, I'll have to settle for only having her as my favorite flavor of vitamin.
