August 9th, 1930, Hollywood. Betty Boop, the first cartoon of a “flapper” girl, which was the name given to young women in the Charleston years who wore minimal skirts, gave up the corset, wore a distinctive haircut and listened to unconventional music for the time, namely jazz, was born at the Paramount Picture Corporation as an initially secondary character. Originally conceived as a cross between the singer and actress Helen Kane and an ordinary French poodle, Betty was redesigned by an animator at Walt Disney Studios, who, having found the character to be ugly to a fault, made her recognisably human, retaining only a few reminiscences of her initial appearance, such as her soft woolly poodle ears converted into earrings and a trace of the black muzzle remodelled into a feminine button nose. Then he accentuated a curve here, pronounced a cleavage there and shortened a dress, the first cartoon character representative of a fully sexual woman whose identity she debuted in a cameo in the first episode of Popeye had just been born. After a brief career that included a Betty Boop version of Cinderella, Betty’s star faded until she was rescued by the countercultural movement of the 1960s, which two decades later would be joined by the marketing that included Betty Boop figures in whose resin poses she equally served you a cocktail as she was ready to auscultate you dressed as a nurse or give you a ticket sensually undressed as a law enforcement officer.
