Googling, I found many interesting Slue Foot Sue animated gifs.
She is one of the main characters in the cartoon "Pecos Bill". This cartoon was released in 1948 with other 6 cartoons, which together form a feature film called "Melody Time"(I checked all this at the Wikipedia).

I'll explain what I remember that happened in the cartoon, putting some gifs inbetween. So here I go:
.
.
The main character is a cowboy called Pecos Bill, and his best friend is his horse.
.
.
One day, this Slue Foot Sue character appears, and Bill falls in love with her

But there's one problem nobody notices: Bill's horse is hugely jealous of her, because she interferes with the companionship with his owner.
.
.
.
Further into the story, for whatever reason the lady decides to ride Bill's horse. Of course the four-footed isn't very happy with this.
That day, Sue put this springy thing inside her clothes. I think it was used back in the day to shape the female figure:

So here we already have some clothes stuffing and some bouncing, which might remind us a little about inflation, even if it isn't really it.
.
.
.
Alright. Back to the story...
.
.
.
So, everything seemed to be going fine for our heroine.
She rode the animal, and even though it was very loose and wild, she seemed to be handling it very well, with no difficulty at all.

But they reach a point in which the horse gets really mad, and things start to get a little out of control for our lovely lady.

Things get more and more complicated, until finally...

When she falls off our crazy buddy and lands on the floor, that springety sprung gadget she has at her waist makes her bounce back
into the air. Each time she reaches the ground, a violent impact makes her go up even higher. This keeps going on until the point she
doesn't come back, and we "never hear anything about her ever again."
.

So that's it. It's amazing! You gotta watch the cartoon!
Special thanks to those who took the time to make these gifs, though I have no idea who they are.

....................... Some other interesting stuff....................................

I've read in a page called Disney-Wiki that "It is said that she(Slue Foot Sue) was drawn to look like Olivia de Havilland."
So to compare...

.
.
... And talking about vintage and ballooning, take a look at this amazing piece by an artist called Elvgren...
.

.
.
I'm a big fan of this vintage stuff. You can clearly see the influence in my "Balloony Marta" character: Click to see a Marta one-page comic

Maybe I went a little off topic here with this post, but I think can be of great inspiration.
