"He's turned from Goofus to Gallant!" This is what Homer said upon witnessing Bart studying after getting on Focusin. Does anyone here even know who they are? Classic stuff ...

Goofus deals crack. Gallant deals coke since he knows he'll spend less time in jail if caught.

He he. Exactly. My mother actually got me a subscription to Highlights. (I didn't go to the doctor enough.)

'Goofus and Gallant' were characters in a childrens activity magazine called 'Highlights'. Specifically, they were in a section devoted to illustrating good decisions from bad ones. Goofus would obviously make the bad decision, while Gallant would make the good one. Learning would then occour.

Surprised me too - a friend's dad is a doctor and there they were in a lobby copy of 'Highlights'.

Made for one of my favorite one-liners in 'Beavis & Butt-head" - Beavis is reading (!) Highlights at a doctors lobby; says "Hehenh - Goofus is cool!"
