Fat Albert was the central character of the 1970s TV cartoon series Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids, created by stand-up comedian Bill Cosby. The first appearance of an animated Fat Albert was in 1969, in a special TV show that showcased characters based on Cosby's early years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Saturday morning cartoon began airing in 1972 and continued until 1982, when it went into syndication (having been re-titled The New Fat Albert Show in 1979). The characters, many of them originally voiced by Cosby, included Rudy, Mush Mouth, Bill, Dumb Donald, Old Weird Harold, and Russell -- African-American urban kids whose adventures inevitably resulted in lessons on social issues such as bullying, peer pressure, honesty and integrity. In the early 1990s plans were hatched to create a feature-length, live-action film based on the popular cartoon, and after a decade of production obstacles, it was announced in 2003 that the movie would be released in late 2004, with actor Kenan Thompson in the title role.
Extra credit: Fat Albert's signature line was "Hey, hey, hey, it's Fat Albert!"... Pop singers Aaron Carter and Omarion had small roles in the feature film... Not only did Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids represent the first U.S. cartoon featuring African-Americans as central characters, it was among the first children's cartoons to focus on educational and social issues... Although the character of Fat Albert is based on Cosby's childhood experiences and is mentioned on his early comedy records, the image known now as Fat Albert comes from the animated series.
Betty Boop was the cartoon cutie developed by Max Fleischer for Paramount Studio's Talkartoons cartoon series. Oddly, Betty Boop began life as a dog, but by 1930 she had evolved into a coy flapper whose innocent skirt-lifting and trademark line "boop-boop-a-doop" were sweetly suggestive of more than just singing and dancing. She made her debut on 8 August 1930 in "Dizzy Dishes," the sixth installment of the Talkartoon series. Boop was a big hit right away, and starred in over 100 cartoons from 1931 to 1939. Her design was altered several times in response to critics of her hubba-hubba look, and over the years she became increasingly less saucy (and less popular). Thanks to a Boop Renaissance in the 1990s, with her smiling image showing up on everything from jewelry to slot machines, Betty Boop has continued to have strong merchandising power into the 21st century.
Scooby-Doo was the title star of a long-running Saturday-morning cartoon of the 1970s, 1980s. and beyond. A comically nervous Great Dane, Scooby spent each episode hunting ghosts with four human teenagers, including the always-hungry hippie boy Shaggy, the brainy Velma, the buff Fred and the beautiful Daphne. (The group drove around in a van called the Mystery Machine.) In the 1990s Scooby-Doo returned as a nostalgic pop icon for Generation X. A Scooby-Doo feature film was released in 2002, with a computer-generated Scooby cavorting with a live-action cast including Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred and Matthew Lillard as Shaggy. The film was a hit, and a sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, followed in 2004.
Extra credit:
The voice of Scooby's human pal Shaggy was provided by American Top 40 radio personality Casey Kasem... Scrappy-Doo, a puppyish nephew of Scooby-Doo, appeared in some episodes of the cartoon; Scrappy is famously disliked by many devoted Scooby fans.
The Yellow Kid was the creation of Richard Felton Outcault and is considered the first American comic strip character to be a popular star. The character first appeared in Truth magazine in 1894. By 1895 Outcault had a steady gig at the New York World newspaper, drawing a strip called "Hogan's Alley." One of the many characters was Mickey Dugan, a bald, big-eared youth in an oversized nightshirt. In color editions, the nightshirt was yellow, and within a few months readers were clamoring for more of The Yellow Kid. Outcault was hired away from the World in 1896 to work at William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal. For a time The Yellow Kid appeared in both newspapers, in Hogan's Alley at the World (drawn by George B. Luks) and in McFadden's Row of Flats (by Outcault) in the Journal. The Yellow Kid was the first comic strip character to have a line of merchandise, including gum, cigarettes and toys. By 1899 the popularity of the Kid waned as Outcault focused on another character (Buster Brown) and new comic strips and characters caught the public eye.
Extra credit: The newspapers that carried The Yellow Kid were sometimes called "yellow papers," and their reputation for sensational reports (of questionable veracity) led to the term "yellow journalism."
