Cartoon Crush Velma Dinkley

Here is my first cartoon crush Velma Dinkley of Scooby Doo in various pieces I have deen.

Velma Dinkley (last name revealed to be an Americanization of Von Dinkenstein) is a fictional character in the American television animated series Scooby-Doo. She is prone to losing her glasses. She is usually seen wearing a baggy orange turtleneck, short pleated skirt (or in later episodes an A-line skirt, or sometimes shorts), knee socks, and Mary Janes. She is seen as the brain of the group.

Throughout her various incarnations, Velma is usually portrayed as a highly intellig ent young woman with highly specific interests in science (which in the Scooby and Scrappy Doo series leads her to pursue a career as a NASA research scientist) or merely being very well read on obscure fields, such as Viking writing (as in the third Scooby-Doo series The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries). In Scooby-Doo! Abracadabra-Doo, Velma is described by her younger sister Madelyn as being "born with a mystery book in her hand". Consequently, Velma is usually the one to figure out the mystery, sometimes with the help of Fred and Daphme. The Velma character was inspired by the brainy tomboy Zelda Gilroy, as played by Sheila James,  from the late 1950s/early 1960s American sitcom The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

A running gag in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and The New Scooby-Doo Movies is Velma's severe nearsightedness and her trouble with keeping her glasses on her face (often resulting in them falling off while she is being chased by the villain). Another running gag is that despite the fact that she is the smallest of the Scooby Doo gang she can actually carry away the whole gang in her arms from a villain.
When Scooby-Doo is too afraid to volunteer to help with a mission, Velma often offers him a dog treat called a "Scooby Snack" as a bribe. Her catchphrases are: "Jinkies!," and "My glasses! I can't see without my glasses!" (when she accidentally loses her glasses).

Velma has been captured by some bad people and kidnapped. They have stripped here down to underwear, but some reason left her eyeglasses on. Go figure

 It is a very bad for Velma Dinkley of Scooby Doo fame.  She has lost her glasses when the "ghost" captured her.  Now she has been tied in her underwear by the villain.

 Once again one of my favorite toon girls has been captured. Velma Dinkley has been captured by the crook in the ghost mask.

We have for Western Civilization Board August Art Theme: Space Babes Sci-Fi babes in skin tight outfits and futuristic bonds is the tone for this month. You can also work in alien abductions and monster DiD’s. Jinkies, it seems that Scooby Doo Gang were investigating a mysterious power outage that is being done by a space monster from Venus.  It seems that Velma has run into the alien and it is not a guy in a rubber mask.  It is the Venusian from Roger Corman's It Conquered the World and now she being held the Venusian as it created mind control devices. This is based what happens to one of the characters not controlled by the thing from Venus.

The film is infamously known as one of the worst desgins of the alien. The design of the creature was Corman's idea, and he thought that coming from a big planet, It would have evolved to deal with heavy gravity and would therefore be low to the ground. Corman later admitted this was a mistake, saying the creature would have been more frightening had It been larger or taller. When Beverly Garland first saw the creature, she commented "That conquered the world?" and kicked It over. Charles Griffith, the one of screenwriters of this gem, on the creature prop:

I called it Denny Dimwit and somebody else called it an ice-cream cone. I was around when Paul Blaisdell was building it, and he thought the camera would make it look bigger. I have some photographs of it in construction, probably the only ones in existence. I asked for my name not to be on that picture, so I was unbilled. Surprisingly, it got good reviews.

It was deservely mock on Mystery Science Theatree 3000 and it was also used in the movie Elvira: Mistress of Darkness.

It Conquered the World is an independently made 1956 American science fiction film, produced and directed by Roger Corman, starring Peter Graves, Lee Van Cleef, Beverly Garland and Sally Fraser. The film was distributed by American International Pictures.

It Conquered the World concerns an alien creature from the planet Venus that secretly wants to take control of the Earth. The creature makes radio contact with a disillusioned human scientist, who agrees to help because the scientist believes such an alien intervention will bring peace and save a doomed humanity from itself.

Dr. Tom Anderson (Van Cleef), an embittered scientist, has made contact with a Venusian creature, while using his radio transmitter. The alien's secret motivation is to take complete control of the Earth by enslaving humanity using mind control devices; the alien claims it only wants to bring peace to our troubled world by eliminating all emotions. Anderson agrees to help the creature and even intends to allow it to assimilate his wife (Garland) and friend Dr. Nelson (Graves).
The Venusian then disrupts all electric power on Earth, including motor vehicles, leaving Dr. Nelson to resort to riding a bicycle.
After killing a flying bat-like creature which carries the mind control device, Dr. Nelson returns home to find his wife newly assimilated. She then attempts to force his own assimilation using another bat-creature in her possession, and he ends up being forced to kill her in self-defense. By then, the only people who are still free from the Venusian's influence are Nelson, Anderson, Anderson's wife and a group of army soldiers on station in the nearby woods.
Nelson finally persuades the paranoid Anderson that he has made a horrible mistake in blindly trusting the Venusian's motives, allying himself with a creature bent on world domination. When they discover Tom's wife has taken a rifle to the alien's cave in order to kill it, they hurriedly follow her, but the creature kills Claire Anderson before the two doctors can rescue her. Finally, seeing the loss of everything he holds dear, Dr. Anderson viciously attacks the Venusian by holding a blowtorch to the creature's face; Anderson dies at the alien's hand as it expires.

We have Velma Dinkley of the Hanna Barberra Scooby-Doo franchise being kidnapped by some ghost dressed as a hula dancer.  This was an actually outfit that she wore in the episode "A Tiki Scare is No Fair"

Also not hard to come up with scenarios. We have Velma Dinkley of Scooby Doo from the episode "Go West, Young Scoob" where the Scooby go to a robot western town Cyber Gulch. Things are going wrong in Cyber Gulch where robots are misbehaving.  Well it seems that Velma has run into some outlaws human, robot, or ghost now faces the classic train track peril.

 Here is one of cartoon crushes Velma Dinkley of Hanna Barberra's Scooby-Doo franchise in the Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy when it seems Velma undergoes a change of personality and began building a monster.  Eventually even planning to use Shaggy's and Scooby's brains for the monster.  This plan makes Dracula's plan to put Costello's brain in the Frankenstein monster in Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein  seem really brilliant
