The Chelyabinsk impact was over ten times the ejected mass, 906 tonnes vs 12,000 tonnes. Even if all 906 tonnes hit at once in a single impact it would be nothing more than a bright fireball and maybe a boom loud enough to set off some car alarms

It would certainly be in small enough pieces that they would not pose a threat to us even if by some extremely bad luck they actually did hit the planet.

Not a clue. I doubt many people expected comics to become as endearing as they did in the 1940s. It was probably just pop culture landfill at the time, not expected to evolve and become a classic.
