I think the later version is staged better. I agree, it works better.

Laugh Comics #38, April 1950. Cover by Samm Schwartz. The same gag, with exactly the same dialogue but completely redrawn with updated camera and clothing, was used on a Betty & Veronica cover ten years later. Would the 1960 version have attracted more votes?

After being put to bed, in 1954, superheroes returned ... A quibble - Cap and the Torch went away in '54 but the Sub-Mariner series lasted until October 1955. There were apparently some serious negotiations for a Sub-Mariner TV series going on, and Goodman kept publishing the comic to keep the character in the public eye.

I'm relieved to find that I wasn't alone in my confusion over her name.
Just to be sure, I found a video interview with her. They introduce her as Ramona FRAY-dun, and she's sitting right there.

When I was a kid I saw her name in the credits on Metamorpho and for some reason I thought her name was pronounced "fra-DON".
The first time I heard someone say "FRAY-dun" I thought "What?!?" and then, "Oh, of course..."

I'm lucky - all I had to do to get my blood pressure back to normal was stop taking my ADHD medication.
Of course I'm now struggling with ADHD, but I've been doing that most of my life.
