The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

The Infamous Garter Disappeared In 1933

By 1933 Betty Boop was known as a big-hearted flapper girl with her iconic short dresses, high heels, garter, and accentuated breasts. But that same year, Betty Boop lost her garter belt. The creators of the show didn’t think the change was all that noticeable and considering Betty Boop had already been a target of criticism for being too sexual, though it was no big deal. The fans felt differently, however. After the famous garter disappeared that year, the public’s high demand eventually brought it back.
