Betty Boop made her first appearance on August 9, 1930, in the cartoon Dizzy Dishes the sixth installment in Fleischer’s Talkartoon series. Although Clara Bow is often given as being the model for Boop, she actually began as a caricature of singer Helen Kane. The character was originally created as an anthropomorphic French poodle. Max Fleischer finalized Betty Boop as a human character in 1932. Betty Boop is regarded as one of the first and most famous sex symbols on the animated screen she is a symbol of the Depression era, and a reminder of the more carefree days of Jazz Age flappers. Her popularity was drawn largely from adult audiences, and the cartoons, while seemingly surreal, contained many sexual and psychological elements, particularly in the “Talkartoon,” Minnie the Moocher, featuring Cab Calloway and his orchestra. For Betty Boop her film career lasted 9 years from 1930-1939. The Betty Boop comic strip by Bud Counihan (assisted by Fleischer staffer Hal Seeger) was distributed by King Features Syndicate from 1934 to 1937. From 1984 to 1988, a revival strip with Felix the Cat, Betty Boop and Felix, was produced by Mort Walker’s sons Brian, Neal, Greg, and Morgan.
Betty Boop made a comeback in the mid 50’s, 70’s & 80’s. WOW the legend never dies!
