Boop-Oop-A-Doop



Here's my entry for the "Golden Age of Comics and Animation" show. It's a tribute to Betty Boop and the whole Fleischer Brothers cartoon universe of the early '30s. My main inspiration were the earliest Betty Boop cartoons, in particular the first few animated by Grim Natwick ("Mysterious Mose" for example).

I am really digging this piece. I like that this is dog betty boop, and the array of characters around her is great. Keeps the funny somewhat disturbing feel of the those cartoons.

Nicely done!
