Betty Boop picture for The Autumn Society of Philadelphia's upcoming "Golden Age of Comics and Animation" art show.

For the inspiration, I used the earliest Betty Boop design by Grim Natwick. That's the character design seen in the first few Betty Boop cartoons ("Mysterious Mose" for example).

Betty Boop (C) King Features Syndicate, Inc. / Fleischer Studios, Inc.

Really love the movement, expressions and color (or lack thereof) of this piece. Truly spooky and wacky all at the same time!

Thank you! :) I'm very much inspired by those old black & white cartoons from '30s, and their combination of spooky and wacky stuff.

This is just fantastic.
This is, in my opinion, these are the Fleischers' best films, as well as their Popeye's and you captured all the fun and craziness and added your own twist. I really love ths!
I also love how Koko is starring at Betty

I'm so glad this exists! I cherish these shorts, and it's refreshing to see that others are fans of them, too.
