Betty & Pudgy





Meet Pudgy.. Betty Boop's loyal puppy buddy


Betty heightened sexuality spell her doom. The Production Code censorship laws enforced beginning 1934 forced her to wear a longer skirt and less revealing neckline - that's when the short little skirts with her garter showing diasappeared and her hemline then moved down to her knees eliminating the "cute" and "sexy" characteristics that had made her popular. No longer a flapper, she a become a husbandless housewife and given a little dog named Pudgy. Her popularity began to decline and hat meant the beginning of the end of Betty's popularity.
