Why 50 Foot Irma?

I'm rewatching the original Turtles cartoon and I've always wondered why they chose Irma to be the one to grow to 50 feet and not April, who is more of a main character.

It might be because Irma is so clumsy, so having her become a giant is easier to play for laughs. April is the more confident one, so maybe the writers wouldn't think a 50 foot April would be as much fun. I could see April thinking that being someone who grew to 50 feet would be a great story for her career.
