Matt, I absolutely LOVED Highlights as a kid and bought it for my nieces and nephews when they were young. But I can't for the life of me remember Goofus and Gallant; that makes the spoof even funnier :-)
Goofus an Gallant was the monthly lesson in manners:
"When Goofus was told by his mother that it was bed time, he told he said f**k off."
"When Gallant was told it was bed time, he said, yes, Mother.''"
Corny, maybe. But I enjoyed it.
I remembered them when I read Highlights in the early '60s, and I remember it when we subscribed to my son in the early 90s.
Speaking of the Young'un, I sent him the link to the Table and he said he would check it out. He's a smart cookie and I think we can learn some things from him and he can learn some things from us.
Really cute florrie! Good find! :)
ReplyDeleteRed Eye does some funny stuff.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people even know Goofus and Gallant these days. I know Highlights is still published, but I wonder if it has a wide circulation.
The Highlights bit was pitch perfect with the over-the-top crazy.
ReplyDeleteDo not bring your F***ING POLITICS into this man!
LOL.
