I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?

Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

Marvin the Martian beat that by almost 30 years.

Jawas didn't wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn't fit.
