The Lasting Power Of Stupidity

So...  
Last week i stumbled across Moronica, Miss Nit-Wit Of 1948 (& 1949). I thought she was just an odd little blip on the cultural radar - a flash and gone.

Nope.

As noted, she debuted in 1948


...not to be confused with the other Moronica who first appeared in 1948 in Meet Corliss Archer...


Our Miss Nit-Wit lasted into 1949, as we knew...


...but she continued on into 1950...
 

...1951...
 

...1952...
 

...1953...
 

...1954...
 

I was so wrong about that "little blip". In fact, she even got together with her friends to form their own book -







Maybe this is what the evil clown sees when it looks back and spews make things Great again? (It was spawned right around this time)
