One of my childhood memories was “Highlights for Kids” magazine, that staple of doctors waiting rooms. I was surprised it still exists, in print and (of course) web forms.
One thing I remember was the “Goofus and Gallant” cartoon in each issue. It was pretty heavy-handed in it’s approach, drawings that compared what the “bad kid” (Goofus) would do in a scenario versus what the “good kid” (Gallant) would do.
I wondered, the other day, what Goofus and Gallant would be like if they were grown up and managing a factory or some other operation. Click for a larger view.
Maybe we can have a caption contest. What other Goofus and Gallant captions would you suggest for the photos above?
Is anyone here an artist who could draw our own less-copyright-infringy drawings for something we might call “Doofus and Leanie”???

Gallant says “Let’s take a little time to discuss whether or not we’re working on a real problem.”

Goofus says “Oh yeah. I’m a one man 5S’n machine. This doesn’t need to be here…and neither does that chair.”

Gallant makes sure no one in the area uses the tool before he red tags it.

Good news for those of you who found this amusing… I have an artist and I’m going to partner up on some “Doofus and Leanie” cartoons (or at least one as an experiment).
