Remember "Goofus and Gallant" in "Highlights For Children"?

[mac56]

Wouldn't that make a great election spoof?

Any talented artists out in DU land?

1. Gallant grew up to become Ralph Reed

and Goofus is now _______?

[zbdent]

5. Fortunately, he's

soon to be ousted from office . . .

2. Radfringe could do this well!

[tsakshaug]

3. I often wanted to beat up Gallant

Then move on to find the hidden pictures.
The Timbertoes(?) What was that about?

[wtmusic]

8. A drug-induced journey into someone's private hell

That page was too disturbing for me.

[soothsayer]

4. I still look at 'em when I'm in the dentist's office

A guilty pleasure...!

6. A think salon.com did G+G four years ago using * and Gore...

...the casting was pretty obvious.

7. What was up with their parents?

Why did they have one kid who was a snotty little prig and another who was a hoodlum? (isn't that a great word? hoodlum....) Makes you wonder how they treated them.

10. Were they actually related?

I figured they were just living up to their dumb names. If my parents had named me Goofus, who knows how I would have acted.

9. Well, I do *now*...

I can't imagine that these two have crossed my mind in... probably 45 years! Damn--you tickled some mighty old neurons with that one!
