Anyone used to read Highlights?

[Equint77]

And if you did... do you remember Goofus and Gallant?

And if you remember those 2... did you think Goofus was the funnier more interesting one? Like when he'd push in line for ice cream or would eat dinner with his hands full of mud.

Hell yeah, I still have a bunch.

Goofus was my hero.

Goofus and Gallant was the first thing I thought of when I saw your thread.

Gallant waits til marriage to have sex.
Goofus sodomizes prostitutes in dark alleys.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I am Goofllant.

Highlights was depressing btw.
I'd only read it while waiting to see the doctor, or at church.
