| Oh my gosh, I remember. I got a subscription for years, until I was about 11. Then my dad decided I was old enough.
Good memories though. My favorite part was the ad-lib section.  |

Wow... the covers look the same as when I got Highlights in the early 90's.
VERY good children's magazine, by the way. That and Cricket got me through elementary school. XD |

| I think the magazine is still coming out, actually. Probably more politically correct than it was when I was a kid, but otherwise likely unchanged for the most part. I liked it a lot, all of it. I remember making several of the craft projects they had, too. | |||

I don't recall it being politically INcorrect.  I mean, granted the issues I still have are probably in the garage somewhere, but I can't recall anything bad. :\ |

| Oh no, I'm not saying it was politically incorrect. I just meant that it's probably more politically correct now than before. It's more than just the extremes, Colin. I think before it was just...there...not really to one side or the other...but with the way things are going, it's probably more to the one side now. | |||

| Only read it in waiting rooms. They were so childish back then as they are now.(Heh!) Fnuckin' Goofus was such a dick. It's Time & Life and National Geographic all the way baby!(Have issues of NG back from the 60s and 70s all the way up to now) | |||

| Bah, highlights... fun for a while...
Puzzlemainia was where it was at for me 
Since I was, what, 8, they were actually challenging  |

| Puzzlemainia? I vaguely remember that thing.
Come to think of this, this reminded me of some huge game based around Highlights. Or maybe it was around Tonka Trucks. I don't remember. Anyhow, the fifth or sixth level was a hidden picture level in space that was a pain in the ass to do. I never finished it. |

| My mom found a huge stack of puzzlemanias and highlights about 2 weeks ago. She gave them to my brother, since he likes puzzles 'n suff...
Also, my favorite part when I was about 11 was the editor's note near the beginning actually  Don't know why, but I did. |

Yea! Puzzlemania all the way! I forgot what it was called...
Had that one. Puzzlemania boasted color on every page while Highlights...didn't. |

| I had LOADS of Puzzlemanias. They were awesome... Never actually wrote in them, though... always did the puzzles in my mind, leaving the pages blank. | |||

Oh geez, I think all of those that I had were thrown out or given away... 
Still, another great little diversion from the norm. Like I said, there were (and are) some really good magazines out there for us kids who wanted to learn and have fun doing so. |

| I think I may actually have that Puzzlemania up in my room somewhere right now, along with lots of other old magazines that I really need to get rid of. Fun stuff, though. | |||

| I also have that particular issue of Puzzlemania.
Is it just me or does one of those staircases just stop in nowhere? |

I remember reading those at the dentist's office. There used to be a fricking hilarious Dysfunctional Goofus and Gallant site that published demented reader-submitted captions (including one of mine!  ), but Highlights' lawyers sent the webmaster a nastygram, and he didn't feel like fighting it, so he shut down the site. That was a sad day. |
