Betty Boop Graphics

Do you celebrate Memorial Day? Well so does Betty Boop. On May 29, Memorial Day eve, the Betty Boop Blog posted a brand-new gif image of Betty Boop and the message “Happy Memorial Day!” Betty dresses the part in the image with quintessentially patriotic red, white, and blue: red-and-white-striped halter top, and mini-skirt and hair bow both blue with fields of white stars across them.

Lois Marie Frescura, the blog’s author, created this particular Betty image, which happens to be an animated gif. Click on the image, and you get options for posting it to online forums like MySpace and Facebook. Or you can save it to your computer and create your own e-greeting cards to e-mail to your friends and family.

It’s one of many examples of holiday-themed Betty Boop Graphics that you’ll find online—and for many holiday occasions besides Memorial Day. Lois’s blog posting follows the Memorial Day Betty image link with a link to the Betty Boop Pictures Archive, whose library has Betty Boop graphics that celebrate Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, and Valentine’s Day, plus a few other big days of the year.

The Betty Boop Pictures Archive’s rundown of Christmas Betty e-cards starts with a “Best Christmas Wishes” greeting situated below a lush green branch of mistletoe. And where there is mistletoe, there is also Betty Boop—she grabs center stage within a mini-portrait in the middle of the mistletoe branch, her arms outstretched and her figure draped in a pine-green evening gown.

This mistletoe theme carries over in several spinoff images further down page. All have the same “Best Christmas Wishes” greeting and mistletoe branch, though she wears a red cocktail dress in one and a black cocktail dress in another.

When St. Patrick’s Day draws nigh, visit this page again for St. Patrick’s Day-appropriate Betty Boop Graphics. One very showy image has a glittering pot of gold—the pixels forming the gold coins and the black pot all flicker. Betty looms over it wearing a broad green leprechaun hat, a very skimpy miniskirt, halter top, green-and-white stockings, and green boots.

Of course, Betty Boop pays homage to Valentine’s Day, too. If you’ve got someone whom you want to be your Valentine, you can have Betty tell them so. One Valentine greeting pictures a bold red heart and, in its center, Betty Boop looking at the viewer longingly. “I wanna be loved by you” scrolls above her.
