Oh, yeah.

Huh....interesting point...

Strangely enough, as obvious as it may seem, I don't believe I've ever made that connection in my own head.

To be honest, unlike Sheila, Annie was intended to be a parody of sexy instead of the real thing. That didn’t mean she couldn’t be truly sexy sometimes, especially when Frank Frazetta rendered her (The image I’ve used of her in a bikini with one arm behind her head and her chest thrust out was his work, and, yeah, if you looked up “sexy” in the dictionary, that image would be used to illustrate the definition). From what I was told, Kurtzman had Elder base Annie’s design on Jane Mansfield, who came across as something of a parody of a movie sex goddess herself. Annie was supposed to be a sexy innocent who didn’t quite understand the impact her sexiness had on the world. At least that was the characterization Kurtzman came up with for her. Hefner wanted her to be a brainless stacked love doll that got laid a lot, and he and Harvey skirmished about it until the 1980s, when he gave up and let Hugh have his way. Neither man was comfortable with the other.

You did draw her once: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/38010974/

It stands to reason!

I remember her comic strips

Don't make me feel old will-ya? Please???

I'm afraid we're resigned to such.

I remember her cartoons in Playboy.

Nice work!

Oh, how I’ve always loved that vixen.

I never thought of it that way, but by the Powers that Be you're right!

Both Sheila and Annie looks adorable in your style. Love their faces! ^^

Thanks for the complement. Frankly, Annie’s face was hard to draw--- She has big, lush blue eyes, a cute little nose, and a small expressive mouth with sensuous lips--- What they used to call a Baby Doll face. It’s a caricature of sexy, but her features have to be kept in proportion or it doesn’t work. It’s a fine line between attractive and ecch!, and if some of her physiognomy is either too big or too small, even if just slightly, it becomes ugly. Though she’s a cartoon, a sexy girl has to look sexy, and as a whole instead of “ahem” just certain parts of the female physique. To be cynical about it, maybe that doesn’t matter. Bill Ward once said that if the majungas are big enough, who looks at the face? Anyway, I think I managed to keep Annie kinda on model even though I don’t have Will Elder’s skill as a cartoonist. Or Eric Schwartz’s.

Nice art :).
