Mojo Jojo and the Forty Cakes Meme

This interesting post points out the funny way that Mojo Jojo from The Powerpuff Girls talks and how it comes from the “Lex Luthor Took Forty Cakes” meme. It’s from a popular comic book illustration from the 1978 children’s dictionary The Super Dictionary. It features over 4000 alphabetically-arranged word related illustrations of superheroes and supervillains from DC Comics. One of the pages shows Lex Luthor, arch enemy of Superman, running away with a cart filled with 40 cakes. Anyway, here’s how that’s all connected:
