Goofus will casually bet you the extra $10,000 in his back pocket that he is just like normal working Americans...

T. Tomorrow is, after all, a master of the cultural reference.

AFAIK, Goofus and Gallant never appeared in Boy's Life.

I used to read them in my piano teacher's waiting room .

In every pediatrician's office from coast to coast, for a time!

remainds me of Church Lady shaming parishioners about their naughty parts being all engorged and tingling.
Same general principal, the dirty sluts.

.... should become an adult as the cartoon progresses, and Galahad should remain a child.


Tom Tomorrow probably thought of that but decided it was too much for one cartoon. Don't want to muddy the message, y'know.

I have. I was getting new tires on my car at Firestone. All they had in the waiting room were women magazines and Highlights so I chose Highlights. In one of the Goofus Versus Gallant cartoons Gallant (about respecting privacy) was stuck in the 1950s, preventing a friend from opening up a girl's diary, complete with giant heart and a lock on the cover. Meanwhile, Goofus was depicted as having successfully hacked a friend's email account.

Say whatever you want about them, but Goofus got mad skillz.
