The name "Moronica" was jokingly applied to movie star Veronica Lake, and was also used by the Three Stooges in their films.
In HIGHER THAN A KITE ( 1943 ), Larry Fine disguised himself as "Moronica", a reference to Veronica Lake.
That's why he has the hair in front of one eye.
However, the Stooges had already used the name "Moronica" as the name of a mythical country in YOU NAZTY SPY.
And it's possible that wasn't related to Veronica Lake, because it was before she was a big star.
