BETTY BOOP'S BIG BREAK Conclusion

...well, I couldn't have put it better myself!
On with the show...

Scripter Joshua (Cutey Bunny) Quagmire, penciler Milton (Mighty Mouse) Knight, and inker/letterer (and Betty Boop biographer) Leslie Carbarga are all major Boop fans whose extensive professional comics work is heavily-influenced by the free-wheeling look and style of 1920s-30s animation, so they were the perfect dream-team to bring this never-reprinted 1990 project to life!
Opens in Chicago this Sunday...

BETTY BOOP'S BIG BREAK Part 1

Our favorite Femme Fatale reunites with her animated associates...
...Bimbo, Koko the Clown, and Grampys, along with a real-life guest-star!
We're going to pause here to show you how legendary musician Cab Calloway actually appeared (rotoscoped as a ghost walrus) in one of the best-known Betty Boop cartoons.
Besides seeing one of the greatest musicians ever in animated form, you now have an idea of how this story is going to proceed...not entire logically...but hoo-boy is it gonna be fun!
The mayhem continues, unabated...
TOMORROW!
