Because\u003cbr\u003e\n she was not the brightest bulb in the pack Moronica would inevitably be spectacularly fired from every\u003cbr\u003e\n job she applied for, hopefully before she drove her boss insane or inadvertently burned the place down.\u003cbr\u003e\n In many ways Moronica was trying to tap into the same vibe as MY FRIEND IRMA. \u003cbr\u003e\nMoronica was a back up feature that appeared in various humor titles published by both the PINES and \u003cbr\u003e\nAMERICAN COMICS GROUP. An early prototype version of her had two early appearances in ACGÕs THE \u003cbr\u003e\nKILROYS #8 and #10 in 1948. The stories and art were done by Milt Gross and it is easy to see why it was \u003cbr\u003e\nquickly scrapped and eventually retooled. The new and improved Moronica debuted in PINEÕs STARLET \u003cbr\u003e\nOÕHARA IN HOLLYWOOD with artwork by Owen Fitzgerald. That series lasted four issues. From there \u003cbr\u003e\nMoronica, and Owen Fitzgerald landed at ACG where she would go on to appear in no less than three \u003cbr\u003e\ndifferent titles.\u003cbr\u003e\n This collection includes MoronicaÕs appearances in THE KILROYS #8, 10, 23-32, 36 \u0026amp; 37, STARLET OÕHARA \u003cbr\u003e\nIN HOLLYWOOD #1-4, DIZZY DAMES #1-6 and COOKIE #45 \u0026amp; 48.\u003cbr\u003e\n This book was compiled with the best images currently available.
