Bimbo was introduced in the 1920s and was one
of the first Fleischer characters to enjoy star status. Betty Boop, who first appeared in the cartoon "Dizzy Dishes," was originally created as a love interest for Bimbo. Betty's first film appearance was brief,
and she looked a little bit like a dog! Still, anyone
who later became familiar with the fully-evolved
Betty Boop would immediately recognize the Betty
of "Dizzy Dishes" as, well, Betty- with her curls, big eyes, tiny pouting mouth and short flapper dress. As Betty became more popular, she became the lady she
is today. Bimbo stayed in Betty's life as a good
friend.

everyone she meets with her distinctive blend
of wide-eyed innocence, sweet disposition and
good heartedness. And it's no wonder — that
face and that personality are irresistible!
