What are some artists with this type of style for women? book recommendations or whatever for learning similar styles. things to look at for inspiration.
Also is it me or her chest, neck, and arms could be made slimmer for a more feminine look? I do like how the artist did the lower torso and lower body; I especially like that legs look of like they are about to pop. the head seems good.

That's 1950s/60s style of cartooning. If you look for cartoons from that era you should find a lot of artists that drew in a similar way.

I was going to call it "boomer babes" or something but, well, it's not literally not. More of a mid-century thing, the parents and grandparents of boomers. Erich Sokol is an example. Just look up the classic playboy artists. You can probably even find compilations of their work in the art section at your central local library.

I hate when they draw the woman somewhat realistically, and make them quite attractive - meanwhile the men are disgusting cartoonish blobs.
It just feels so inconsistent, like they're two completely different art styles that clash, but I'm supposed to ignore because 'girl hot'.
The man's head (on that cover) looks like it should belong to a child character.
>What are some artists with this type of style for women?
Anyway, to answer your question, there's Dan Decarlo (picrel), the dude who gave the Archie comics that particular look.

>Just look up the classic playboy artists.
Honestly, they're probably some of my biggest inspirations. I really would be one of those guys who'd buy playboy for the articles, back in the day.

Do you need another joke, when you're already telling the best one?

its so surreal how most of the jokes are "I hate my wife" like getting married is just something you fall upwards into. Today marriage is dead and its harder to convince a 2026 woman to date you than it is to learn how to draw.

A lot of people from older generations REALLY did not want to be married in the first place, but felt like they had to because of social pressure, parental issues, or in order to escape capitalism-induced poverty. But thanks to poorer living standards when compared to today, they didn't always get marriage partners that were kinder to them than their own parents were. And that's not even mentioning how prostitution/cheating is seen as extremely taboo in America because America can't distinguish between romance and sex in a relationship (whereas most other countries place more shame on emotional affairs over the sexual affair itself).
That's why so many old boomer comics are just "I hate my wife".

They're called the Greatest Generation (and justifiably so)
The only thing they sucked at was raising good kids

It's the least important facial feature visually, and it's easy to suggest it very minimally in abstract and cartoon art for effect, if needed (nostrils widening, line for the bridge, shadow for the lower plane, etc.). You would notice the lack of one on a real person, but in terms of symbolically conveying the idea of a face, the nose is not that important. And so a lot of times cartoonists are happy to get rid of it, for the sake of the design.
