With the Internet at your fingertips, it is easier than ever to find personalized bank checks that fit your style. Luckily, you don't even have to go to your bank anymore to find limited availability and expensive checks. You can easily find thousands of images to suit your needs and personality just by searching the Internet. Are you a cartoon fan? Well, one of the most popular images is that of Betty Boop.

After nearly 80 years, Betty Boop is as popular as ever and her image is still used on hundreds of products. You can find products with her picture in many countries and even people who were not alive during her popularity in the 1930's collect her memorabilia. If you want to personalize your checks by using her image, remember that ordering online can save you 50%.

Betty Boop is a famous cartoon character, created by Max Fleischer. She is well known for her sometimes endearing, almost always overtly sexual appeal. She first came onto the scene in the Talkartoon series on August 9, 1930. She was supposed to be a combination of Clara Bow and Helen Kane. Clara Bow, a very famous silent film star, reportedly didn't make the successful move to "talking pictures" due to her heavy Brooklyn accent. Ironically, Betty didn't seem to let that hold her back.

Betty was popular for a lot of reasons when she first arrived onto the scene. Arriving in the 1930's, she came out in the middle of the Great Depression. With her Jazz baby style, she more than likely reminded the audience of the more happy-go-lucky days of the past.

Betty is also thought to be the first female cartoon characters to symbolize a woman with sexuality. She wore a garter belt and had cleavage, along with her short skirts and hoop earrings. Some of the other female cartoon characters were either childish, like Minnie Mouse in her frilly bloomers, or just the male cartoon characters in a dress.

In several cartoons, Betty is also portrayed as fighting off male advances. Whether she was changing clothes, innocently flirting, or simply walking down the street, there always seemed to be a man nearby who wanted to take advantage of her. In a couple of episodes, cartoon co-stars rescued her to keep her from being assaulted.

After 1934, Betty's character changed once the National Legion of Decency registered complaints. Betty began wearing full skirts and dresses and without a significant other, became a career woman.

Betty Boop has come to represent innocent sexuality and today people from all over the world collect items with her image. You can find her on everything from clocks to shot glasses. You can also find her image on personal bank checks.

There are some websites out there that can save you 50% off your personal checks. Looking online, before you go to your bank to order your checks, can save you money. You will also generally get a much superior variety of images.

You can also find something to fit your distinctive style and individuality. A search on the Internet for Betty Boop checks shows that there are many choices available, from Motorcycle Betty to Vintage Betty. Whatever you might like to have, there is something for everyone.
