I’m sorry butt while the stray cats were a classic retro band that character was probably original to the record label. She is very much an example of good girl art rather than classic cartoons. There was ONE category of magazines which would have featured such a design. The cultural classic is Captain Billy’s Whiz-Bang

The fifties and early sixties published a lot of joke and cartoon magazines and books which featured that kind of illustration. This one though, is so perfect for the record label, I suspect that it was specifically done for it.
That is not a classic cartoon character, but original pinup art done for the CD cover. Was that only for a New Zealand release? Looks like something off a cocktail napkin in the ’60’s. Google search for art info negative.
Whether she is an original creation or not is debatable.
The image is certainly based upon the pin up art that Bill Ward and other artists produced from World War 2 throughout the 1950s.
