Betsy Bobbin is second in the earthly girlie trio of Oz. First comes Dorothy, then comes Betsy, then comes Trot. They’re all girls who came from the outside work, specifically America, and were invited to settle in Oz by Princess Ozma. This version of Betsy is for Oz Squad. The image here is a scan of the base artwork used to the color version here.

Something’s gotta be done with Betttttsy. Trot & Dorothy are so tomboy. Maybe Bettsy can be girly girl. Low cut blouse? Sure! Skirt slit to the hip? Yeah!
Anything done with Betsy is entirely my responsibility. For the Who’s Who I picked characters that Steve wasn’t using.
Honestly I prefer the tomboys. Betsy got to be a society girl for variety’s sake.
She looks just like this actress:

How, you may ask, did I pull that out of my ass? My friend, I watch entirely too many Star Trek reruns.

She kinda does look like that actress. I’m sure I’ve seen the Star Trek and X-Files episodes but I don’t think I’ve seen any of the rest of her resume.
Having seen only one issue of Oz Squad, that image came as something of a shock to me — I remember Betsy as the considerably younger girl from the original books! It does fit in from what I remember of the grown-up Dorothy and her gang, though.
You can get the first collection of Oz Squad here.
Or you can read the series online here.
Thanks for the Oz Squad links, and sorry it took so long for me to get back here — real life’s shaking, as always.
