The Real Inspiration And Evolution Of The Betty Boop Cartoon

Adult Animation

Betty Boop remains a sex symbol to this day. But unlike most modern cartoons, Betty Boop was made to appeal to adult audiences. This is why Betty Boop has cleavage and in some episode, doesn’t even have a top on. But despite this, she still maintains her girlish demeanor, a quality that was a perfect balance for the flapper image Betty Boop represented. Although she maintained her virtue on screen, behind the scenes the company allowed her to be a little naughty. In 1931, the company even sent out a cheeky Christmas card in which Betty Boop is seen in bed with Santa Claus!
