Betty Boop

BOOP-BOOP-A-DO
Created and patented by Max Fleischer in 1932, Betty Boop was the star of 110 cartoon shorts throughout the 1930's, and as shown here, became a trademark licensing bonanza, adorning everything from lamps to clocks to juke boxes.

• The samples shown here were all collected by Ken DeHart of Brooksville, Florida, over a 50 year period, including a door that marked the main entrance to his pink and red house that was adorned with over 3,000 pieces of Betty Boop memorabilia - Believe It or Not!
