Carl Barks was always fond of beautiful women with luscious figures. Not only did he marry three times (he compared one of his wives to the glamourous actress Marlene Dietrich), but he actually made a living from his interest during his many years at The Calgary EyeOpener, an adult magazine with emphasis on cartoons with long legged, hourglass figured women.
Of course, this natural manly interest did not subside when Barks later became a Disney duckman. But it was next to impossible to add beautiful and sensual women with voluptuous figures to funny animal comic book stories targetted for children. In reality, sexy characters were banned in Disney's comic books. Still, Barks followed his own head as he did so many times with other subjects, and the result was that he managed to smuggle quite a few long legged, hourglass figured women into his duck stories. Some were 'hidden' and portrayed in ornamental roles, while others functioned as important parts of the plots.

Here are some examples of humanlike ladies in alphanumerical order after issue codes. If you like to find more examples you should know that Barks several times placed the ladies tucked away in the backgrounds, so they are often quite difficult to spot!
