Betty Boop is a famous cartoon character, created by Max Fleischer. She is well known for her sometimes endearing, almost always overtly sexual appeal. She first came onto the scene in the Talkartoon series on August 9, 1930. She was supposed to be a combination of Clara Bow and Helen Kane. Clara Bow, a very famous silent film star, reportedly didn't make the successful move to "talking pictures" due to her heavy Brooklyn accent. Ironically, Betty didn't seem to let that hold her back.
Having been created during the time of the Great Depression, Betty was popular for many reasons. The biggest reason might have been the fact that she reminded people of the more carefree days with her Jazz-era style.
Betty is also thought to be the first female cartoon characters to symbolize a woman with sexuality. She wore a garter belt and had cleavage, along with her short skirts and hoop earrings. Some of the other female cartoon characters were either childish, like Minnie Mouse in her frilly bloomers, or just the male cartoon characters in a dress.
In several cartoons, Betty is also portrayed as fighting off male advances. Whether she was changing clothes, innocently flirting, or simply walking down the street, there always seemed to be a man nearby who wanted to take advantage of her. In a couple of episodes, cartoon co-stars rescued her to keep her from being assaulted.
When the National Legion of Decency protested in 1934, Betty's character changed. She no longer wore short dresses and instead started wearing full skirts and dresses. She also became a career woman.
These days, people enjoy collecting Betty Boop for multiple reasons. Since her creation, she has come to symbolize sexuality, innocence, and charm. Her image can be found on everything from postcards to beach towels and glasses. You can also find her on personal checks.
There are some websites out there that can save you 50% off your personal checks. Looking online, before you go to your bank to order your checks, can save you money. You will also generally get a much superior variety of images.
