Despite those lewd (and secret) insinuations in
The Little Mermaid and
The Lion King, sex and cartoons have never really gone together.
Of course, that can all change with a dedicated artist and a cult following, like the kind bestowed on Eve Kitten, the world's first burlesque cartoon.
Created by artists Nancy Basich, Eve is a crime-fighting bombshell who also wears lingerie, and really nothing else.
She's already inspired some M.A.C lip glosses and a very twisted Barbie doll, but tonight in New York City, she'll get a proper gallery show, thanks to the National Arts Club (15 Gramercy Park South, NYC).
Can't make it? Check out
her MySpace page, where corseted crusaders rule.
