Believe it or not: Minerva's initial design had her naked, similar to Slappy Squirrel (but without the hat), and was originally called "Marilyn Mink" due to her similarity to Marilyn Monroe. Warner Bros management however, felt that both the name and lack of clothing were inappropriate for family viewing.
Fuckin' management.

Given her design, I can understand why. But in all honesty, I think the clothes made her look better.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong. A beautiful woman naked is a sexy sight to behold. But when she wears clothes that compliment her figure and look, that's just amazing.
I was just explaining over on wwoec that in her initial design she was more or less sexually ambiguous....without the hair and eyelashes (and without any audio) you wouldn't have been able to discern what sex the character was. A little "womanly figuring" helped quite a bit.
