By that time the character was already a hit thanks to his magazine appearances and starring roles in a dozen Van Buren Studios theatrical animated shorts. Those cartoons have been preserved with care on disc by <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderbeanshop.com\/product\/the-complete-animated-adventures-of-the-little-king\/\">Thunderbean Animation,<\/a> and some are available via YouTube (click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6I5EVhW4PB0\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nUFtoFSevo0\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NGBlnOl31jE\">here<\/a> to view a sampling). Two years afterward, the King made a jump from Van Buren to the much-beloved Fleischer Studios to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Tzdibpe_SxA\">team up with the one-and-only Betty Boop<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soglow was, in some ways, as popular as his royal creation. Like his fellow cartoonist (and eventual King Features stablemate) Milton Caniff, Otto was a member of any number of professional societies and \u201cgentleman\u2019s clubs,\u201d and he was an eager participant in charity appearances. At times he appeared as himself, doing the sort of lectures and chalk-talks audiences looked forward to seeing from the \u201cBig Name\u201d cartoonists of the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet at other times Soglow put his thespian talents to work. In at least one instance, the show in which he participated was raided by John Law. Ten days before Christmas \u2014 on December 15th, 1935 \u2014 some newspapers gave big play to a Society of Illustrators charity event in New York featuring skits that included four ladies in various states of dishabille, which caused Manhattan\u2019s Finest to bust up the proceedings on morals charges. The St. Louis <em>Post-Dispatch<\/em> told the tale in the full-page article below. Otto played the role of Thwarted Lover in a sketch titled \u201cThe Warming of the Bastille (or, Love\u2019s Fever in Durance Ville)\u201d; the plot had the cartoonist\u2019s character already jailed for driving too fast en route to a hot date, but suddenly less eager to leave confinement when girls arrested at a nudist camp were brought into the hoosegow. \u201cWith a yell,\u201d journalist Jack Alexander told his readers in Saint Loo, \u201cSoglow leaped into their cell and shouted that he preferred jail to freedom. The audience cheered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cheering died down when two patrolmen appeared on stage and told the spectators the show was being stopped as a violation of city indecency laws. It took some convincing \u2014 at first everyone in the seats thought the coppers were actors, hired as part of the show! Once it became clear this was no joke, and that the girls were being arrested, many of the attendees decided to follow the accused all the way to night court in order to speak on their behalf.  Anderson wrote, \u201cThe result was an impressive parade of Rolls Royces, Minervas, and taxicabs. First the caravan went to the East 104th Street police station, where the girls were booked. Then several hundred artists and their pals jammed into Night Court to form the best-dressed room of spectators to whom it has ever been host.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab1f7ab4b81b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab1f7ab4b81b\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"579\" height=\"800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-579x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10357\" srcset=\"http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-579x800.jpg 579w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-289x400.jpg 289w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-768x1062.jpg 768w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-1111x1536.jpg 1111w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-1482x2048.jpg 1482w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-247x341.jpg 247w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-510x705.jpg 510w, http:\/\/libraryofamericancomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Soglow-Co-Show-Raided-by-Cops_St_Louis-POST-DISPATCH_A_19351215-scaled.jpg 1852w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" data-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<default:svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<default:path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/default:svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few rounds of legal hugger-mugger, all charges were dropped.
