Goofus and Gallant
Goofus and Gallant is an American children's comic strip created by Garry Cleveland Myers. The strip is designed to teach social etiquette by using a simple two-panel, side-by-side comparison. Goofus demonstrates rude, selfish, and careless behavior on the left, while Gallant demonstrates polite, kind, and considerate actions on the right. First published in Children's Activities in 1940, Goofus and Gallant moved to Highlights for Children when the magazine was founded in 1946, and has appeared there ever since. Educators and researchers have often used the comic to help children identify ethical and unethical behavior, and philosophers have often referenced Goofus and Gallant as personifications of vice and virtue, respectively.
