One of the classic Depression-era musical cartoons created by Max and Dave Fleischer. Satchmo's soundtrack obviously inspires the artists - even if the visuals aren't in any way "politically correct" 70-plus years later.

No, but I have heard that the producer or somebody important regarding the cartoon was Jewish.

Thanks, I have no idea what it has to do with speed either -- but it's interesting and, I think, hilarious.

The letters are Kaf, Shin, and Resh. When you put them together they form the Hebrew word Kosher. I have no idea what that has to do with speed. :)

Does anyone know what the Hebrew letters say on Ko Ko's speedometer?

I don't know, but that's when she was greatly changed by the Hollywood censers! I'd suspect that she wasn't thought of as old fashioned in 1935, because they changed her image by then, and the cartoon continued for another four years! Personally, I think that the best Betty cartoons are from the early thirties!

Was Betty Boop considered "retro" or "1920s" - by 1935 standards? People weren't saying Boo-boop-be-do any more in 1935, were they?

God I wish I could delete that last comment of mine, It's really insulting towards Jazz, The Blues, And Gospel Music and does nothing but pigeonhole and belittle their heritage and history.
