It's the comedy of misunderstandings.  Mr. Magoo enjoyed grand adventures
due to acting upon his flawed perceptions of the world (to which everyone
with a smidgen of introspection can relate, sight-impaired or not).  A
better question is why Mr. Magoo prospered as long as it did:  his
predicaments were so shallow that the cartoons rarely raised so much as a
chuckle.
