Did you know that Betty Boop started out drawn as an anthropomorphic French poodle and it took two years for her to slowly morph into the flapper girl character we know today? This just goes to show how direct a product Betty Boop was of her time. Now a feministic cult character, Betty Boop was overtly sexualized but empowered at the same time. It used the cute facade to tackle real issues like sexual harassment, and it directly targeted adults at a time when most cartoons did not. Betty Boop would become toned down in later years, but this never diminished her impact as a cult figure. Boo-oop-a-doop your way down to check out great
