The Goofus that we all used to know back in the good old days would instead have deliberately crushed grandpa’s watch in a vice, just for the hell of it. He’s simply made an error, and he’s distressed about it. Worse, he’s actually concerned about the situation. Instead, he’s been replaced by an only slightly-less-polite version of Gallant. In the example above, he apparently has misplaced his grandfather’s watch (which, inexplicably, he has brought to gym class).

Gone is the Goofus of old, whom we all knew would eventually grow up to be an arsonist or serial killer. Goofus? What the hell, man? I’ve got to say, I’m disappointed. And here’s a sample of what it’s like these days: These days, I naturally don’t make a habit of reading Highlights, since there are better media offerings for someone of my age, but since I have kids of my own, I’ve glanced at the 21st century style of Goofus & Gallant on the occasions when I’ve been in medical offices. It was quite the Yin/Yang for kids to read about each month. ……or, in a true fit of pique, hurling his younger brother into an existential crisis.Īs you can see from the above tidbits, the format was always the same: Goofus, the unapologetic asshole, would do something completely obnoxious or rude while Gallant, his effete, better-behaved peer, would be a total sweetheart in a similar circumstance. I was a really good kid, but I guess I had a prurient curiosity about what a nasty, selfish, and rude kid like Goofus would be up to. Whether he is demanding to be fed….…. The part I liked the most, of course, was Goofus and Gallant. Most of you probably remember this, since it was a staple at most pediatric and dental offices. So, in the spirit of the Sunday morning comics…….Īs a little kid, one of my simple pleasures was Highlights magazine. I stumbled upon this post from years ago, and I just had to offer it up again, particularly since so many new people are herIe.
