Poll question: Who would you vote for Goofus or Gallant? (Tom Tomorrow TOON)

from 2003:

[TechBear_Seattle]

1. I read "Highlights" at the dr. office when I was a kid

I can actually get the inside joke :rofl:

[TlalocW]

7. I had a subscription as a kid

And a couple of months ago, one of them was delivered to my house. Mailman made a mistake. Now, I should have been a Gallant and walked over a couple of streets and put it in the right mailbox, but I was a Goofus and read it to relive part of my childhood then threw it away.

13. Ha ha I win

My mom WORKED for Highlights. Free G&G, Hidden Pictures and Timbertoes merchandise as far as they eye could see!

[Left Is Write]

18. When I opened this thread...

I was actually hoping to see reproductions of what Goofus and Gallant looked like back then. :D

3. Dated Goofus, Married Gallant!

[Dunvegan]

5. Most interesting. How did that work out for you?

[NoPasaran]

14. Actually, still a Goofiac

I was just referring to what happened in 2004

[Dunvegan]

16. Ha! Well, I think a national annulment is in order.

[JNelson6563]

6. Found Gallant in bed with Spy vs. Spy

Got divorced and went back to Goofus. :toast:

[Dunvegan]

15. LOL, if G&G were married it'd be like Mary Matalin and James Carville.

[yurbud]

17. they are more like Golum and Gargoyle

[yurbud]

12. most women go the other way: date Goofus, marry Goofus, have Goofus'

kids, call cops on Goofus, get restraining order on Goofus, divorce Goofus, THEN marry Gallant (and secretly wish he were Goofus).

[Dunvegan]

4. I so love Tom Tomorrow's dead-on analysis.

Thanks for the editorial cartoon and the poll.

Obviously, we Democrats of Democratic Underground prefer the truth and a frontal campaign to "Vichy Democrat" pandering that actually excuses (and therefore excuses and whitewashes) the Republican debacle.

8. Imagine DLC running against Hitler or Stalin...

"Hmmmm...we have to figure out a way to grab his anti-Semitic supporters without alienating our more tolerant base. I've got it! 'If elected, I will look into the Jewish problem, and place blame where it belongs.'" That way, the anti-Semites could think I mean the Jews, and everybody else could think I mean the Nazis..."

[Neil Lisst]

9. Amen!!
