By the release of Any Rags, Betty Boop was forever established as a human character. While much credit has been given to Grim Natwick for helping to transform Max Fleischer's creation, her transition into the cute cartoon girl was also in part due to the work of Berny Wolf, Otto Feuer, Seymour Kneitel, "Doc" Crandall, Willard Bowsky, and James "Shamus" Culhane. Within a year, Betty made the transition from an incidental human-canine breed to a completely human female character. In individual cartoons, she was called "Nancy Lee" or "Nan McGrew"-derived from the Helen Kane film Dangerous Nan McGrew (1930)-usually serving as a girlfriend to studio star Bimbo. Betty Boop appeared as a supporting character in ten cartoons as a flapper girl with more heart than brains. Clara Bow is often given credit as being the inspiration for Boop, though Fleischer told his artists that he wanted a caricature of singer Helen Kane, who performed in a style shared by many performers of the day–Kane was also the one who sued Fleischer over the signature "Boop Oop a Doop" line. Inspired by a popular performing style, but not by any one specific person, the character was originally created as an anthropomorphic French poodle.
