Recommended for All Ages, Betty Boop fans, and anyone who enjoys humorous light-hearted comics. The stories feel fresh, revitalised, modern and entertaining for a 21st century reader. Although this revival is grounded in the roots & origins of the character, the book is colorised for modern sensibilities. You can hear the scatting Jazz music throughout the text along with the “hi de hi de” slang from the period. The time period takes place in the 30s with all of Betty’s supporting characters in attendance. However, these four individual comics collected here in this one trade edition is the best revival I have come across. Much of the post-1930s attempts to revive this saucy character only mildly caught and kept my attention. I would argue Betty Boop is a light-hearted feminist for her age. I absolutely adore these cartoon shorts and find them a charming time capsule with a character who although is very sexy, fights off sexual harassment at every turn. Immensely popular in the 30s and considered iconic now, her impact to pop culture is considerable. She appeared in about 90 animated shorts from 1930 to 1939.
Betty Boop, a cartoon caricature of a Jazz Age flapper, was a big hit for Fleischer Studios in the 1930s. I would argue Betty Boop is a light-hearted feminist for Delightful.
