About

Leggy Lamb is a minor gag character originating from the 1958 Droopy Dog cartoon Sheep Wrecked. Despite appearing for only a few seconds with no lines of dialogue, the character was embraced by 4chan's /co/ (Comics & Cartoons) board for her sexy appearance.

Origin

Leggy Lamb originally appeared in the 1958 cartoon Sheep Wrecked. In the cartoon, a wolf character tries to steal a sheep from a yard; one such attempt at stealing the sheep involved a plunger launched with a bow. Instead of bringing back the sheep, it instead rips some wool off of the sheep; the next shot shows the sheep, who is suddenly anthropomorphized. The name "Leggy Lamb" is derived from the next line said by the wolf:

"Now there's a right purdy leg a' lamb!"

The first instance of Leggy on /co/ was in December 17th, 2012, accompanied by the text "uncomfortably sexy gif thread."^[1] On February 9, 2013, the segment of Sheep Wrecked featuring Leggy was uploaded to YouTube by the account StealthPornucopia, where it gradually accumulated 2,225 views by June of 2015.^[2]

Spread

The sheep was christened the "Leggy Lamb" in a /co/ thread from May 23, 2013, and since then, the term has been used 454 times according to a search of archive.moe.^[3][7] A page for Leggy was made on /co/'s /co/nservatory Wikia in June of the same year.^[4] As of June 24th, there are 72 entries for Leggy Lamb on DeviantART.^[8] Drawing the lamb is also popular in the erotic drawing communities on Tumblr.^[9]

Other related sheep characters were later created to accompany Leggy: Peggy Lamb,^[5] a "naughty" version of Leggy; and Barbra Blacksheep,^[6] an even "naughtier" version of Leggy meant to resemble a thicc African-American woman, both of whom were created for pornographic reasons. These three sheep form what is called the "Sheep Trio".
