Bimbo is a fictional character, a cartoon dog created by Fleischer Studios. He first appeared in the Out of the Inkwell series and was originally named Fitz.
He later became the star of Fleischer's Talkartoons series, making his first appearance as Bimbo in Hot Dog (1930). Bimbo was relegated to a supporting character when his girlfriend Betty Boop became a more popular character. The Talkartoons series became the Betty Boop series in 1932.
He appeared in Fleischer cartoons from 1930 to 1933, when he was eliminated from Betty's series by the Production Code censorship laws, since a dog with a human girlfriend gave implications of bestiality.
