As soon as I saw Betty Boop on the list of the Golden Age Heroes show that Chogrin is putting together, I realized how much of a cult icon she is. Its common to put Betty Boop in the Marilyn Monroe grate pose, but I got the swell idea to stick her in Marilyn Monroe's Playboy pin-up instead.
I also wanted to do this partly for my grandmother, who's got the biggest Betty Boop memorabilia collection I've ever seen.
Not a lot of people know this, but Betty Boop was originally a dog.
Cheers!

THIS IS AMAZING JEss! And you're two months ahead of schedule, holy cow! You are pumping work out and all of it looks fantastic!
P.S. Kudos to your grandma for having awesome taste in classic cartoons! And kudos to you for picking Betty!
I just wanted to do this idea before anyone else. My selfishness keeps me ahead of schedule.
