Betty Boop - Series 1 Ep. 13 - Pudgy Takes a Bow Wow

Will wear you out

06 December 2008

Wow, this cartoon will wear you out. It starts quietly with Betty getting ready to go on stage and telling her little dog "Pudgy" to go to sleep. She tucks him into his little bed and then goes out and begins singing her number. She impersonates an Italian monkey grinder and a Chinaman along the way, neither of which is offensive but probably wouldn't be in cartoons today.

Before Betty can finish her act, however, chaos ensues because a cat got \ Pudgy's attention and the dog figures a clever way to get out of the dressing room to confront it. What happens after that is pretty wild and entertaining. The audience liked it, howling as the cat and dog did all sorts of things, even hamming it up for the theater audience when they sensed the crowd was watching them.
