As we mentioned last week, there was a slew of "dumb blonde" comics in the early 1950s...
...including this anthology, Dizzy Dames, which carried the headline "Screwballs in Skirts" above the title logo!
Illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald and probably scripted by editor/art director Richard E Hughes, this never-reprinted tale from ACG's Dizzy Dames #1 (1950) features a stereotypical blonde with the rather insulting name of "Moronica".
The other ongoing strips feature equally-demeaning names for the female leads including Knothead Nellie, Man-Huntin' Minnie of Delta Pu, and Dee Licious!
To be fair to the creatives, the actual characters were unique and distinctive, not just clones of each other!

(Yes, that's the cover. It's an academic tome, not a mass-market book!)
