We are pleased to now stock this fantastic, memorable cartoon icon in many posses for everyone’s delight..
Introduced by cartoonist Max Fleischer in 1930, with contributions from animator Grim Natwick among others. She originally appeared in the Talkartoon and Betty Boop series of films and has also been featured in comic strips and mass merchandising.
While there has been controversy over the years, the inspiration has been traced back to Esther Jones, who was known as “Baby Esther”. The caricature of the jazz age flapper was the first and most famous sex symbol in animation. She performed regularly in the Cotton Club during the 1920s.
Baby Esther’s “baby style” lives on in the iconic character Betty Boop. Betty Boop is best known for her revealing dress, curvaceous figure, and signature vocals “Boop Oop A Doop!”
