Scary monsters and super creeps from the Betty Boop cartoons.You could write a book about the monster imagery in these cartoons. I believe—just my theory—it has its roots in the Fleischer brothers’ Polish-Jewish background: for example, it’s not hard to recognize a golem in the monster in image 3. It’s that same morbid horror stuff we see in the illustrations I occasionally post by say Thomas Theodor Heine or Franz Wacik.The images are from: Betty Boop’s Museum (1932), Betty Boop, M.D. (1932), Betty Boop’s Penthouse (1933), Snow-White (1933 and Minnie the Moocher (1932). -- source link
