Not many people may know this today…but before Betty Boop became really famous she was a dog and the cartoons that were released before the Hays Act are very interesting even for today’s eyes. And what’s even more important, these cartoons included some of the finest jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong (in I’ll be Glad When You’re Dead, You Rascal, You) or Cab Calloway (in Minnie the Moocher or Snow White).
If you ever have the chance to watch a vintage Betty Boop cartoon, don’t let it pass you by.
[btw the picture shown above is from the cartoon Just A Gigolo]
