This is my version of their possible future.

So, say their contract expired.a hostile takeover of Highlights or something, the age-loop stopped, and Goofus and Gallant finally started getting older.what would happen to them? It's not very difficult to imagine what might happen, based on their prior behavior, not counting the time they were elves. That could be one of those lessons that you only learn once.the hard way. I'd hope most kids wouldn't need Goofus and Gallant to learn that, but you never know. It's pretty cut-and-dried.one of the simplest, but definitely most important lessons. Goofus is rude, and types in all-caps." I'm still letting my mind wander. Hmmm.early 2000s.maybe the story was something like, "Gallant is polite and respectful on the Internet. I'm pretty sure Gallant did the right thing, and Goofus fucked-up royally. I got a chuckle and of course read the episode, but I don't remember it. I remember around 2000 or so seeing a copy of Highlights, and dang if Goofus and Gallant wasn't still going. They'd have a kid who was young at the beginning of the show, but as they naturally aged over the years, the producers still tried to make them look young, with things like hairstyles, makeup, or lack thereof, looser clothing, no heels, and in some cases even taping-down breasts. Thinking about them staying in a loop of being the same age for 75 years reminded me of some "family" shows from back in the day. I was letting my mind wander, and writing a script for when they became older, and what might happen in adult life.

Maybe there are still enough parents who give a fuck about teaching their kids how to treat people to make it worth it.
#Highlights goofus and gallant series
I thought surely (Stop calling me Shirley) the series would've fallen out of fashion and ended years ago, but I was wrong. The clothes, hairstyles, backgrounds and subject matter have changed with the times, but they've been stuck in preteen limbo for almost 75 years. Their ages varied from five, presumably in the early years, on through various ages up until the age of twelve, where they stopped aging. G&G was acquired by Highlights a few years later, and in around 1952 they became human. I took a quick look on Wiki, mainly to see if the series was still going, and learned that it started in 1940, and for the first decade or so, they were elves. It features two young boys, one of whom, Gallant of course, is very respectful, well-behaved, well-mannered and always does the right thing. Goofus and Gallant was and still is a moralistic cartoon featured in Highlights for Children magazine, for most of its time. Man I really think about the strangest shit sometimes.like I wonder what would (theoretically) happen to Goofus and Gallant when they got older.that is to say in the future.if and when the series ever stops.
