come on now everybody knows that if it's about both being the exception to bean body (and even different eyes than most) and being the thiccest Sonic character, Big the cat is the best example

Isn't it like that for most of the female characters? At least in the comics.

It's been a bit, but from what I remember from later Archie, a lot of the female and OC comic characters had pretty good body shapes that still fit with the usual designs of Sonic characters.

However, I suppose the main takeaway is that artists are and should always be focused on one thing when drawing Rouge. "How do we make this cartoon bat as sexy as possible, but still viewable by children?" A good philosophy in life I'd say.
