Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen are co-creators of the comic strip Betty. Betty is a smart, savvy comic character who is unapologetically ordinary, happy and female. Betty is a truly modern woman — a wife, mother and workingwoman. “Betty is an original, funny character who manages to survive both life’s mundane and difficult times with style and humor,” said Delainey. “You will see yourself in her and you will laugh out loud. Really!”

“Although Betty has been running for over 20 years, it’s the only strip that’s about life right now,” said Rasmussen. “The characters are real, and Betty’s world is one that many people can relate to.”

History
Originally from Alberta, Canada, Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen first met as senior high school students in a local art competition. Their paths crossed again the following fall, when they each enrolled in the Fine Arts program at the University of Alberta. Ever since they teamed up, Betty has been a sensation — the strip received the Wilbur Award for its series on Junior (Betty's son) getting baptized. Delainey and Rasmussen continue to live and work in Alberta, Canada.
