Thomas Moore^[1] believes "Skippy" alludes to the Percy Crosby cartoon strip Skippy, of 1920s-1945 vintage:

"Skippy, like Orphan Annie, led a schlemihl's life, always threatened by evil forces of change, which meant, for the politically reactionary Crosby, Rooseveltian changes in the direction of liberalism, urbanism, and the homogenized Global Village." (p.170n.)
