Information
Betty
Boop started out in the early 1930's as a dog character,
primarily as the love interest of a dog character named
Bimbo, in the Talkartoons series produced by Dave &
Max Fleischer. She was featured in several cartoons
as this dog character through 1930. It didn't take long
for Betty to surpass Bimbo in popularity, and become
the main character in the cartoons. (From: Starring
Bimbo, featuring Betty, To: Starring Betty, featuring
Bimbo.) In many of her cartoons Bimbo was portrayed
either as her boyfriend, or at least a wanna-be boyfriend.
