American cartoonist Bill Ward is a favourite and was a prolific cartoonist of what was called 'the good girl pin-ups' and probably the greatest ever. His artwork featured attractively drawn women in comic books, comic strips, pulp magazines, and book covers from yesteryear and unlikely to have many fans in the world of the PC brigade today.
Some of his work can receive high prices at auction some as much as five figures for the rarer work. Personally I would love to own some of his work but I doubt the wife would be happy.

I prefer these cartoon drawn than naked pictures in fact I have never been a fan of the naked body since I can remember. I would prefer a pair of boobs in a bra or some lingerie than free for all to see that is why I was never a fan of page threes Sun newspaper. definitely along the line of sexploitation this post.
His work has appeared in comics titles such as Humorama Magazine, Sex to Sexty, Joker, and so many other Men's Magazines from the 1950's through the 1970's and was very popular. He only work once for a British magazine if was for a mainstream comic "2000 AD" a comic that never interested me but Ward drew a four-page part called "The Mega-City 5000.
Some people could call his work porn or even soft-porn but I say each to there own what someone will call art others will say rubbish.
One of his most famous and recurring theme is the telephone girl - some of the most prized pieces of Ward's to Pinup Art Collectors. Spanking features regularly but his art is mostly famed for large breasts and high heels with mostly lecherous old men lusting after young woman. I suppose the British comparison would be the sexier seaside postcards although there were some British cartoonist who followed the likes of Bill Ward.
He did hardcore illustrations but I have to say I don't favour them they are of the same high quality drawing but I like what I like.

To be honest I could never pick a favourite, it is nearly impossible every time I delve into his work up pops something I like more than the last one. He is reputed to have a portfolio of over 10,000 cartoons and other works.
