What if Betty Boop in the Panty & Stocking style...

hello, bimbo? im leavin home!

the brilliant @yaminerua has cracked the case!!! i couldn't agree with them more: it looks like Mr. Ring-A-Ding's unusual, buglike appearance was partially inspired by Hoppity the Grasshopper from Mr. Bug Goes to Town, a 1941 Fleischer production 👀 fantastic find there Rua!! i'm excited to learn more specifics about the development of Mr. Ring-A-Ding, but it would work wonderfully if he's made up of a pastiche of Fleischer influences between the early 1930s and mid 1940s 💖

Betty Boop returns to her canine roots

FLEISCHER from SATELLITE CITY

Osamu Tezuka

I love the visual language of UWE. Clearly inspired by the rubber hose era. With the rounded features in the character designs. Which Genndy is a huge fan of, him being able to balance different takes from there since at a young age he was taught by Gordon Sheehan an animator from Fleischer Studios. So this style has always been second nature to him and he finally gets to flex that muscle showing his total mastery of it. Very clearly evoking that era yet still able to twist it into something all it’s own.
