Yay! I loved Goofus and Gallant! Well, this is definitely worth a blog-posting, anyway!

I always thought Gallant was a brown noser. I would have much preferred to hang out with Goofus. Goofus probably had much more fun than boring Gallant.

I hated Goofus and Galant when I was a kid. What really turned me off was the few times Goofus actually was trying to do good, it wasn’t good enough. Some 30 yrs later I still remember Galant did wrong by cleaning up a spill using paper towels, but Galant used a mop and bucket. Still makes me want to throw rocks at the mother who preferred Galant over Goofus.

I am 47, 6′-5″ tall and 350 pounds, but I STILL go straight for ‘Highlights’ at the dentist’s or doctor’s office! Goofus and Gallant Rock! (That, and hidden pictures!)

I don’t see why you cut this! You should totally bring it back! As for Goofus and Genghis Khan…

LOVED Goofus and Gallant. That was the first page I turned to in the waiting room at the dentist’s office.
