Baby Mandy and her "father" - illustrator Dean Eagle

Dean Yeagle is an American artist, illustrator, cartoonist and animator. During his life, this talent has created a huge number of works. But his most important character was and remains sexy blonde Mandy. It was this silly, but very seductive person, whom everyone has probably seen at least once in their life, that made the Needle world famous.

Like many other children, Dean Eagle was fascinated by Walt Disney cartoons from an early age. But if the others outgrew this stage and they had more adult interests, then Dean's interest in animation only grew. Immediately after school, the guy enrolled in an art college. However, he was not impressed by the lessons with drawing antique columns and fruits. Just a year later, Eagle drops out of school and goes to Philadelphia to finally draw cartoons.

Dean Eagle did not just realize his dream and touched the "kitchen" of Disney — he became one of the most famous artists in the history of the legendary studio. In addition, the artist has worked with Warner Bros., MGM, Playboy and other giants of the entertainment industry.

In adulthood, Eagle realized another of his dreams — he founded his own animation studio Caged Beagle Productions, Inc. Here no one told him what and how to draw. Over the years, the artist has created many original characters. But none of them can compare in popularity with baby Mandy.

This cute and exaggeratedly sexy girl with an unintelligent face has become a favorite not only of Dean, but also of millions of people around the world. She appeared on the pages of Playboy magazine, in cartoons, advertisements, and even replicated in the form of plastic figures. About her favorite, her "father" says this:

At one time, the Needle was accused of presenting a too young person as a sexual object, so the artist was forced to fend off these attacks:

Often in interviews, Eagle adds that his Mandy has a sexy look, but no intimate life. The artist asks everyone to keep within the bounds of decency and not to surround his heroine with indecent speculation. Of course, few people listened to the artist's words. Mandy has been a favorite heroine of the authors of not quite decent fan art for many years. But nothing can be done about it — such is the price of popularity and the artist stopped paying attention to it.

Many people believe that Dean Eagle and his Mandy have opened a completely new page in such a genre as pinup, making it more youthful. What do you think about this?
