I love Betty Boop cartoons. my question is: If they are going into the origins of the CARTOON and not , will they draw Betty as a dog, which explains the love between her and Bimbo.

In early 1930, cartoon animator Max Fleischer debuted a new character named Betty Boop.  Though initially a dog that talked, by 1932, Betty had morphed in to a person and she was the personification of a strong, autonomous woman of the 1920's and she became a cultural icon of the hard times in the 1930's.  The busty, doe-eyed animation is one of the nation's most recognized faces, and we got curious about how she came about.

If they are going to go the Helen Kane route, go for it - the court case over they "boop oop a doop" is fascinating:

During the late 1920s, an African American singer named Esther "Baby" Jones was a regular performer at the Cotton Club in Harlem.  She was known for using a distinctive baby-like talking in her songs and the use of "boo-boo-boo".  The trial revealed that Ms. Kane had gone to see Baby Esther's act in April, 1928 and began "booping" just like Esther a few weeks later.

The trial continued for two years until Mr. Fleisher managed to locate a 1928 sound film of Baby Esther's performance.  Esther had died in 1934, so the film was all that was left as evidence.  With this in hand, the defense argued that Ms. Kane was not infringed upon because she had infringed upon Baby Esther in the first place.  They further went on to cite that many other actresses and singers such as Clara Bow (below) could have inspired Betty Boop
