Moronica - STARLET O'HARA #1

STARLET O'HARA was originally published in December 1948 by Better/Standard/Nedor/Pines.

The adventures of Starlet O'Hara and Moronica start in this issue. As a matter of fact, this seems to be where the blonde Moronica begins, at a different company and with a different artist. But this version of Moronica would go to THE KILROYS after STARLET O'HARA was no longer being published.  Art by Owen Fitzgerald.

Note that Moronica is referred to as "Miss Nitwit of  1948". The Milt Gross version of Moronica was called "The Nation's Nitwit". So a different version of that description was being reused as well as the character's name.

STARLET O'HARA #4

I happened to come across this while I was on a Frank Frazetta search. Frank Frazetta did the illustrations for the text story in this comic book.

Moronica is mentioned on the cover, she has a story in this comic book, which was published prior to her stories in DIZZY DAMES.

And the main girl characters in this comic book are about the same characters as the "Broadway Babes" in DIZZY DAMES.

Art is by Owen Fitzgerald, as someone noted on the first page.
