Legendary cartoon character Betty Boop returns to pop culture prominence in a big way...
(Hey, it worked for Little Orphan Annie!)

Starring Broadway veteran Jasmine Amy Rogers as the embodiment of Betty,
the show looks like an absolute hoot!
With award-winning creatives handling writing, directing, and production
(including effects like transitioning the cast and sets from black and white to color on stage), the production should appeal to old (who remember the cartoons) and young, who will be introed to the pop art icon!
As for us, we're turning our "sister" RetroBlog, Heroines, over to Betty for November, beginning tomorrow with Betty's first comic strip...which wasn't really her strip!
(Don't worry, we'll explain tomorrow!)
The week of November 13th, you'll see the appropriately-entitled 1990 one-shot comic...
by comics pros (and major Betty-philes) Leslie Carbaga, Joshua Quaqmire, and Milton Knight!
Finally, starting the day after Boop! the Musical's November 19th premiere, you'll see the first couple of months of Betty's actual comic strip!
Check Out
Heroines!
starting tomorrow
and, if you're in the Chicago area over Thanksgiving, see
Boop! the Musical!
