Katyberry: Yes, I do :-) You can get personalized Betty Boop checks from Artistic Greetings or Checks in the Mail.

Katyberry: I have so many pictures of Betty that I can't possibly send them all, but if you have something special in mind...a pose or a theme, then I can send a few pictures, or direct you to where they are displayed. And of course I don't mind your mailing me...I love to get letters from other Boop fans about my site!

Katyberry: I have a cute picture of Bimbo on my history page (which I sent in an email), or you could try looking at some of the postcards. Bimbo is pictured with Betty almost as often as Pudgy!

Katyberry: I have seen sheets and pillowcases in The Lighter Side catalog, or you could also make your own with Betty Boop fabric. Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page has a large selection of fabrics featuring Miss Boop.

Katyberry: The two images requested are from T-Shirts, so they won't scan very well regardless. The best thing to do, probably, would probably be to look through the Classico postcards in my gallery and to order a hard copy from them. They have several 8X10 cards, but mostly 4X6, which can be scanned at a higher resolution to make for a better image. You can order a full catalog for $5, or they will send you just the pages with Betty Boop cards for free. Their customer service people are very nice, and you can reach them at 1-800-US-CARDS. As for your offer to pay me, it's very nice, but I don't legally own any rights to Betty, and so can't legally take any money for images of her, even if I wanted to.

Katyberry: When I first got this letter, I wasn't able to send the cute picture I had from the Danbury Mint, because I was moving and the picture was packed. But here it is now. Just click on the image below for a larger one:

Katyberry: I'm sorry, but I just don't have the time to send out all the Boop pictures that I find (not to mention those file sizes whew!) You'll just have to check my gallery page from time to time, to see if I've added things.

Katyberry: The black and white dog-like creature with Betty is Bimbo, and of course the little white dog is Pudgy.

Katyberry: There are many catalogs out there with Betty items in them, but you can try contacting The Lighter Side, Desperate Enterprises, Inc., or any of the retailers on my Links page to get their catalogs.

Katyberry: Posters of Betty seem to vanish from all the places I recommend. You can usually find them on ebay auctions, or at any of the many poster places online. Sometimes you may get lucky and find one in stock. I got my four posters from One Stop Posters (see my collection), but I haven't been able to find any recent information about that company.

Betty's not mine to give, and very few of the pictures (except the photos and a couple of animations. Oh, and the cartoon doll Betty on my link to me page.) on my site were originally created by me, although I will be adding some original artwork later on. As long as you give credit where it's due...to the Classico company if you use a postcard image, and especially to KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Inc. and FLEISCHER STUDIOS, Inc., Betty's owners, then you are welcome to use images on your site. Most of the images here were scanned by me (like the U.S.A. Boop in my postcards section), but I didn't draw them.

Katyberry: I'm sorry, I don't have a list of Betty Boop stores or stores that sell Boop merchandise. Check out the top 10 sites on my Links page, though, and you may find a site that does have such a list. You might also try contacting the President of The Official Betty Boop Fan Club, since I know that she sometimes prints store locations in her newsletters.

Katyberry: There are a ton of Boops on bikes out there, but the best one I've found is below. Click on the image below for a full size one.

Katyberry: You can find at Betty Boop fabric at some of the retail sites on my Links page or visit Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page.

Katyberry: My gallery has all of my pictures of Betty that I can put on the web, but I'm always adding more. Thanks for visiting, and come again.

Katyberry: I found only one site that had electronic greeting cards with Betty, but the site owner is long gone (her email is defunct), and all of the free postcards hosts I found insist on using non-copyrighted images. Betty is of course owned by KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Inc. and FLEISCHER STUDIOS, Inc., so I didn't even ask. I just made up some greetings of my own. See my Greetings page for more details.
For paper greeting cards, I recommend picking up a program called Artistic Greetings. They have a card making program with a Betty Boop download for an additional payment. It's not cheap, but the cards are cute and you can make as many as you like.

Katyberry: Betty originally appeared in a cartoon entitled "Dizzy Dishes". She was a singer at the restaurant where Bimbo (I think) was working, and had dog ears which eventually became her hoop earrings. The only picture I was able to find is the one below, a clip from the cartoon. Click on the picture to view the larger image. She didn't have a name, since she was just a bit character in the cartoon. As for your compliments about my site, thank you. I'm glad to know that people appreciate the time and effort I've put in here, just to share my love for Miss Boop.

Katyberry: I haven't seen cell phone cases, but I'm sure someone has them. Watches can be found just about anywhere. Have you tried the retailers on my Links page? Mail order and the web are the best places to find things for those who don't have Boop sensitive stores nearby.

Katyberry: I don't know anything about appraising, but I know that ebay.com has some services for those who want to know how much their items are worth before they put them up for auction.

Katyberry: I've never heard of a Ms. White doing the voices for Betty Boop, but what a fascinating story! I'd like to know more...has anyone heard about other people doing voices for Betty?

Katyberry: I've never seen any rings with Betty Boop on them, but maybe one of my visitors knows where you can find some?

Katyberry: I just so happen to have a shirt like that, and here are the pictures from it, front and back. Click on the image to see the larger one:

Katyberry: I have seen sheets in The Lighter Side catalog, or you could also make your own with Betty Boop fabric, which you can find at Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page.

Katyberry: I don't know the lyrics, but you can find the song at Music of the 30s in Real Audio.

Katyberry: There are sigs out there on the internet, but I don't make them myself. I suggest you do a search on Google.com for "Betty Boop sigs". (NEWS FLASH!!! I've found a site that walks you through making an email sig of your own, in clear, easy to understand language. Check out Gina's Sig Tags Tutorial.)

Katyberry: I'm sorry, but I don't make sigs or cut and paste codes for email. You can, however, send your friends a greeting from my site.

Katyberry: I've just posted my collection! Click here to see it.

Katyberry: What isn't sexy about Betty? If you're looking for *gasp* naked pictures, you might try searching through some of the sites on my Links Page. Occasionally you'll find one with such pictures posted. There was also an old naughty comic strip printed in the 20's or 30's, but I'm not sure where you'd find it now.

Katyberry: I have added a Web pictures page with some nice wallpaper, but I don't have any icons, cursors or screensavers. You might want to search through the top ten links on my Links Page, or go to Google.com and search for "Betty Boop screen saver". If you have Windows 98, you can save your favorite Betty pictures to your My Pictures file, and set your computer's screen saver to "My Pictures Screen Saver". This is the one that I use with all of my postcard pictures.

Katyberry: I can't tell anything without a manufacturer's name, but most clothing or items with a tag will have the date that the manufacterer applied for permission to use Betty's likeness. I would suggest contacting ebay.com, since they offer some appraisal help, or KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Inc.

Katyberry: I've been totally unable to find Betty Boop wallpaper of any kind. You may be able to find some suitable fabric, which you can make into blankets, curtains, and pillows, and possibly drape over some of the wall. The best place to find fabric is probably Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page.

Katyberry: There are more and more screen savers out there for Betty, but the sites that have them change a lot. To find a screensaver, try one of the top ten sites on my Links page, or go to Google.com and search for "Betty Boop screen saver". Also, if you have Windows 98, you can fill your "My Pictures" file with all your favorite Boop pictures, right click on your screen, select "Properties", then "Screen Saver", and pick the one that says "My Pictures Screen Saver".

Katyberry: I don't know how to program my own e-greetings yet, and the only site I found out there is a cobweb site (old and doesn't work). The trouble is that Betty is a copyrighted character, and most free e-greetings hosts won't accept copyrighted images for their postcards. I have set up a greeting card page, but you can't personalize the cards.

Katyberry: My Spanish is a bit shakey, just so you all know. I don't have a mailing list, and I'm a terrible penpal, but I'm thinking of restarting my message board, or posting a list of email addresses (only with permission) for people to get in touch with each other to chat about Betty Boop.

Katyberry: I have a History page, a Filmography and an extensive Gallery of Betty Boop images. I don't send these images out by email, but they're easy to find on my site. I also have a long list of Links, where you can find more images and info about Miss Boop.

Katyberry: I've seen paper party supplies with the lovely Miss Boop in The Lighter Side catalog, but you might also try one of the retail sites on my Links page.

Katyberry: Betty's little white dog is named Pudgy.

Katyberry: I'm sorry, but I don't know that much about Helen Kane, aside from her court battles with Fleischer Studios. As for stamps, I know that The International Collector's Society sells a ton of Betty Boop stamps from other countries, but I haven't been able to find anything for mailing in the U.S. I would suggest contacting your local post office for more info. Thanks for your well wishes, and thanks so much for visiting.

Katyberry: You might find mudflaps in The Lighter Side catalog, or you might get lucky through one of the retail sites on my Links page. Merchandise changes all the time, and mudflaps are awfully hard to find, unlike car mats.

Katyberry: All of the info I have is here on my site, but if you want more detailed information, I suggest that you pick up The Fleischer Story Featuring Betty Boop, written by Leslie Cabarga, or the A&E Biography special video tape.

Katyberry: I've seen a whole Boop kitchen set in The Lighter Side catalog, but you might also try one of the retail sites on my Links page.

Katyberry: My gallery has all of my pictures of Betty that I can put on the web, but I'm always adding more. Please visit again!

Katyberry: Most of what I know is on my history page, but if you want more information, you should pick up The Fleischer Story Featuring Betty Boop, written by Leslie Cabarga, or the A&E Biography special video tape.

Katyberry: My gallery has all of my pictures of Betty, but I keep finding more. Check back soon!

Katyberry: No new cartoons are being produced (yet), but you can sometimes catch Betty Boop specials on A&E.

Katyberry: There are more and more screen savers out there for Betty, and I've just added a new Web Page Pictures section to my gallery. Any web background can also be used as a computer background. To find a screensaver (the sites change all the time) just go to Google.com and search for "Betty Boop screen saver", or if you have Windows 98, you can fill your "My Pictures" file with all your favorite Boop pictures, right click on your screen, select "Properties", then "Screen Saver", and pick the one that says "My Pictures Screen Saver".

Katyberry: I've gotten enough messages like this that I'm thinking of starting a list of people looking for others to talk to about Betty Boop. I originally had a message board posted on my site, but no one was using it. If you'd be interested in something like this, please write to me and let me know.

Katyberry: I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to help you. As far as I can tell, there are many artists who draw Betty Boop, but the best place to contact for an official type autograph would be KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Inc. and FLEISCHER STUDIOS, Inc. I hope your foot healed well, and that you and your girlfriend are still happy together.

Katyberry: This cartoon was actually Betty's only color picture, and the coloring is pretty strange! You can find it on the tape called "Betty Boop Confidential", a set of Betty's best to commemorate her long reign as the Queen of Cartoons.

Katyberry: You can get lovely personalized checks from Artistic Greetings and Checks in the Mail (That's where I got mine!)

Katyberry: I am sorry to say that I haven't seen anything like this, ever. Maybe one of my visitors has?

Katyberry: I just took Betty's lovely face and, using Adobe Photoshop, positioned her face in the middle of the flower. It's easy when you have the right program.

Katyberry: The Lighter Side often has car mats, and you can get checks and checkbook covers from Artistic Greetings and Checks in the Mail

Katyberry: You're in luck. The Lighter Side has full color catalogs featuring not only Betty, but also the Three Stooges, Lucille Ball, and many other famous faces. I myself do not put out catalogs, since I don't sell anything on this site.

Katyberry: I shared this wonderful story with my own sister, one of my best friends. Thank you so much for writing to me with this heartwarming story.

Katyberry: Have you read my history page? You can also find more information about Betty in the book The Fleischer Story Featuring Betty Boop, written by Leslie Cabarga, or the A&E Biography special video tape.

Katyberry: You can get almost all of the beautiful cards in my gallery from Classico Postcards. There is also a computer program called Artistic Greetings that allows you to create your own greeting cards. They have a supplement that lets you make Betty Boop greeting cards, but it's not cheap.

Betty's little white doggy is named Pudgy. Bimbo is also a dog, but with person-like qualities.

Katyberry: I love the postcards too. I got most of them from Classico Postcards. They are very inexpensive, and the people at the service line have always been very helpful and friendly.

Katyberry: I'm glad you found your picture, but I don't make email cards. The best I can offer is that you attach the image to the email that you're sending, and then put an image code into the letter (img src="imagename.jpg").

Katyberry: I have searched and searched, but haven't been able to find any Betty Boop wallpaper or even borders. I have seen sheets in The Lighter Side catalog, or you could also make your own with Betty Boop fabric (see next message for where to get fabric.)

Katyberry: I recently found Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page, which has all kinds of Betty print fabric.

Katybery: The only one I could find (but I found a lot of this one) is Betty in a sort of Margarita glass. Click on the picture for a larger one:

Katyberry: Two versions of the song (one by Helen Kane and one by Marilyn Monroe) are on the CD Betty Boop's Musical Cabaret, which you can get at Amazon.com, or you can find it at Music of the 30s in Real Audio.

Katyberry: Artistic Greetings and sometimes Checks in the Mail usually have Betty Boop stationary, checks, checkbook covers, glasses cases, etc.

Katyberry: I unfortunately don't have the time to do a mailing list about all things Boop. Apart from the filmography, links and history of Betty here on my site, there really isn't much information that I have to give. If I hear of anything spectacular, I will be sure to post it on my main page.

Katyberry: All of the images I could find were of Betty in camo, and those only on t-shirts. I've cleaned them up a bit, and here they are. Click on a picture for a larger image:

Katyberry: I'm not sure this is available any more. I affiliated myself with the company that had them, but they ran out and didn't restock. You may be able to find one of these posters on ebay, but if you will settle for a T-shirt, they're much easier to locate.

Katyberry: The Danbury Mint does not have an online site for their many Boop items, only for Sports memorabilia. They can be reached by phone at1-800-426-0373 M-F 9 to 5 EST, or by mail at 47 Richards Ave, Norwalk, Connecticut 06857.

Way back when I answered this letter, I found the cross-stitch pattern below, but have since lost the website. As soon as I find it again, I'll post a link here so you can purchase the actual pattern. Click the picture for a larger image:

I don't know if they issue permits for web sites, but the place to go to ask would be KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Inc. Most people do not request permits for non-profit sites, but be sure that whatever you do you clearly display the copyright information on every page.

I found this picture in a Lighter Side catalog, which was the best I could do. Click for a larger image:

Katyberry: I don't, but what a great idea!

Katyberry: I'm sorry, but I've only seen small stickers for cars. I would suggest (for durability and quality) having Betty professionally painted on your car instead.

Katyberry: When I first answered this letter, The Rainbow Connection had some great suspenders and ties featuring Miss Boop. They'd run out of stock last I checked, and so here are some other places to check: Biker Betty Boop, The Lynwood - Lape Co., Inc., Clark's Cookie Jars & Collectibles, and The Tie Guys.

Katyberry: The best place I've seen for car stuff is The Lighter Side. They are online, but I suggest you order their catalog instead, since they usually have more of a selection there.

Katyberry: I recently found Tabberone's Betty Boop Fabric page, which has all kinds of Betty print fabric.

Katyberry: I've never seen anything like that, but maybe one of my visitors has?
