History
Ko-Ko was created in 1917 as the main star of Out of the Inkwell. He appeared in all of the cartoons in that series, and when it ended in 1929, he did not appear in another cartoon until the 1931 Talkartoons episode, The Herring Murder Case. He continued to make small appearances in that series. After it ended, he appeared in some early cartoons in the Betty Boop series, after which did not appear in any more cartoons. In 1955, the Out of the Inkwell shorts were sold to television, giving him a new lease on life, but not for long.

In 1961, he got a new series of 100 5-minute episodes. Max Fleischer was displeased with the quality of these cartoons. After that, he faded into obscurity once again. Later, he made appearances in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Betty Boop's Hollywood Mystery.
