About
This Date
Betty Boop began her life as a dog. Designed by Fleischer studio and animator Grim Natwick, her first appearance was August 8, 1930, in "Dizzy Dishes." She was a dog, singing to another dog. She was drawn as a person in "Kitty from Kansas City" in 1931. During the 1930s, there were over 100 Betty Boop cartoons made - the last one, "Yip Yip Yippy", in 1939.
Betty was in retirement until 1988, where she returned to the big screen in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" - the only "toon" in black and white. Loveable Betty is still highly popular today.
