See any similarities between Tab the kangaroo and Quinn?
That's right. The amazing people at Tessy and Tab gave one of their characters a soccer shirt in honor of Quinn. How cool are they? They had told me they were going to do it, but I didn't tell Quinn.
He was extremely pleased.
This is especially significant if you know the whole back story of Quinn and his two-year refusal to wear anything but a yellow shirt, preferably one that featured a soccer ball.
Disclosure: The Tessy and Tab people gave me a free subscription.

Perfect! See? Everybody DOES love Quinn!
That is SO cool!
cool!
How cute!
So awesome.
I love it!
Now THAT is the big time!
Whoo-hoo!
First, very cool!
Second, this reminded me of a (print) magazine for children of my (ahem) generation. Highlights!
And, on reading your post here, I decided to google them.
Here's what you get - including an interactive decision-making exercise with yes, Goofus and Galliant. http://www.highlightskids.com/Stories/GnG3/h1intro.asp
Hint: Goofus may occasionally make bad decisions, and Gallant may often make good decisions.
Or, back in the day, Goofus was rude, and Gallant was polite, friendly, and a cub scout.
Stimey and visitors,
I did, yes, just spend 10 minutes clicking thru the Highlights site.
I recognize much of the content from my own childhood. I wonder whether anyone else is familiar with Highlights, ... and do you find it rather odd to see 1960's graphics on the Web?
Just asking :)
Karen, I grew up on Highlights. I LOVED it. Goofus and Gallant were a very important part of my childhood. I occasionally see the magazine in waiting rooms and read it to my kids. They think it's fun too.
That is beyond cool.
I was already thinking of getting Lucas a subscription based on your review. Well, this TOTALLY sealed the deal! I'm not even going to wait for his birthday!
I pointed out Tab's shirt to my kids, and they were unimpressed. I think they don't realize how close to being a celebrity that this makes Quinn.
