Why do many cartoonists find it "necessary" to give cartoon characters love interests?

Had any girlfriends since?

Galatians 6:7 -

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Thess. 4:3-5

3It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

1 Corinthians 6:18

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

Hebrews 13:4

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

Leviticus 18:22

New International Version

"'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

New Living Translation

"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin.

Psalms 97:10 -

Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

So you STILL thinks it's funny to MOCK and PERSECUTE CHRISTIANS - GOD SEES YOU.

HOMOSEXUALITY IS AN ABOMINATION, A DETESTABLE SIN. SEXUAL PERVERSION IS NOT OF GOD.

GOD WANTS PEOPLE CONTROLLING THEMSELVES AND NOT ACTING LIKE ANIMALS.

ALL SEX OUTSIDE MARRIAGE IS A SIN - GOD WILL JUDGE THOSE WHO PRACTICE SEXUAL SIN.

THERE ARE NO GAYS IN HEAVEN. IF YOU DON'T GET SAVED AND TURN AWAY FROM HOMOSEXUALITY YOU WILL GO TO HELL

I HATE HOMOSEXUALITY. I HATE WHEN OTHERS ATTACK CHRISTIANS. I HATE YOUR BEHAVIOR.

YOU ARE AN UNCIRCUMSIZED PHILISTINE, A GODLESS HEATHEN. I CONFESS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOR. WE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON - DO NOT COMPARE ME TO YOU.

CAN'T SAY YOU WEREN'T TOLD.

Paul wrote a lot of that kind of stuff in his letters.

much like yourself, he was struggling with his own homosexual demons...

BLASPHEMY.

NOT THINKING ABOUT WOMEN AND EXERCISING SELF-CONTROL DOES NOT MAKE ME GAY.

I AM NOT THINKING ABOUT SEX AND I AM NOT INTERESTED IN IT.

I see you're quoting Leviticus you hypocritical corduroy wearer. Stop shaving, it's blasphemy. No more cheeseburgers for you.

I doubt you think much about anything else.

I am thinking about God, and handling my business. I am thinking about my artwork. THINKING ABOUT SEX IS A SIN. NOT INTERESTED.

Whatever lights your candle.

Is that British slang for "floats your boat"?

It is WRITTEN in Romans 8:1 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

I thought you weren't going to ask me about British culture.

I was being facetious.

You and I can star in our own comic book if you'll marry me?

That is an ABOMINATION. I had NO IDEA Archie Comics was supposing gay rights.

Did you not read the Bible verses I gave you? Or is that like falling on deaf ears?

Is that a yes or a no?

NO - LITTLE MAN.

Sex sells. Makes certain body parts get PUFFY, that's why love interests are inserted into many cartoons. Better sales, bigger money.

I don't get how Warner Bros. got away with targeting Pepe Le Pew to kids. He is such a RACY character - he teaches kids that it's okay to sexually harass women:

If you think that's bad, it looks like Bugs Bunny is out of bounds too.
