The Notorious "Betty Boop"



King Features and Fleischer Studios continue developing a PG-rated feature-length 'Betty Boop' cartoon:


Betty Boop debuted in the 1930 cartoon short "Dizzy Dishes", the sixth installment in Fleischer's "Talkartoon" series...


...created as a curvy caricature of singer Helen Kane, imagined as an anthropomorphic French poodle. 


Fleischer finalized Betty as a human character in 1932, for the cartoon "Any Rags". 


Her floppy poodle ears became hoop earrings, and her black poodle nose became a girl's button-like nose.
