De Betty Boop-arum

    Nuntio vobis habemus summam betty boop-arum!!
    This is a post I was working on from months. I've included shots from all the risquè moments in the Betty Boop cartoons. It is unbelievable how many times the underwear of this "little miss" is shown. It seems hardly plausible that she lost her top tens of times revealing her bra. Her "cute legs and miscellaneous" are often shown to the audience and even what kids should not allowed to see pops out frequently. Did you ever dare to count how many gags are built around her garter belt? And almost every character in her cartoons plans to woo (the good guys) or rape (the villains) her.
    I've tried to highlight all these moments from all the shorts in which she appears, including the times she has canine of feline forms. I couldn't locate a copy of "Accordion Joe" (which seems unfindable) though. If anyone got a copy (hardly possible) please contact me.
    Anyway here you have a visual compendium of the these classic Boop moments, filled with sexuality and pre-Code bravery. Among the most shocking are the shots of her very first cartoon, "Dizzy Dishes".
