Billy Boop is Betty Boop's baby brother. He makes his first appearance as her sibling in Stopping the Show, where he can be seen watching his sister perform on stage from the audience. Billy also appears in the early comic strips. Betty tells her director that she thinks her brother has talent, so he puts him up for a screen test. In the comics, Billy is a tough little boy who speaks in a deep Brooklyn accent. He would alternate appearing in the strip with Bubby Boop, another of Betty's siblings.
