Goofus and Gallant

I was looking at an old Highlights for Kids book the other day, hence my reference to the creepy Timbertoes (They used to frighten me so much my mom would do a quick sweep of the pediatrician's waiting room before my appointment to hide those magazines).

But I liked Goofus and Gallant. That might be from where my admittedly small moral compass derives.

OK, well, I do have to admit the Timbertoes were pretty scary.

Of course, Pinochio scared me, too, now that I think about it. Toys coming to life, imagine what they know about you and that they can get you at any moment!

Man is a pestilence.

Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But to suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Man is a menace, a walking pestilence. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.

Only 1,967 years until the
Reign of Zaius!
