Goofus Penguin steals fish.
Gallant Penguin waits patiently for fish.
Goofus Penguin is named “Naughty Penguin of the Month.”
Gallant Penguin is named “Good Penguin of the Month.”
John B. is named “Sender-inner of the Month.” (This sign is at the National Aquarium of New Zealand. Full story at The Telegraph.)
Is Betty the one Timmy stole fish from?
You know what they say…”The early penguin gets the fish.”
In this world, survival of the naughty appears to be the rule.
I’m not sure that public shaming is going to do anything to correct Timmy’s behaviour because of course, he can’t read ????
And does Betty gets extra fish for being penguin of the month?
When I was employee of the month I got a reserved parking spot until the next EotM was announced. If you get it in October the next one isn’t until January or February because we don’t have our
pep ralliesall-staff meetings during the holidays. It was really nice during the worst of the winter. 😉And I think shaming Timmy will just make him bitter and resentful.
I’m glad that they included pictures, so that you can recognize the naughty/good penguins from the other hundred penguins.
I’d hate to mistake the naughty guy for the good girl.
yeah, me too
HAHA!
I can’t love this enough!!! Laughed SO loud at work I proactively called my boss over to see and she loved it, too.
Hey Timmy: No stealie the fishie! No pushie the penguie! Banished to the Well!
Keep up the good girl routine Betty.

Who else remembers Goofus and Gallant from “Highlights”?! ah, the days of my youth!
OH WOW YES!! Goofus and Gallant! That was so long ago practically buried for good! Can’t believe this old memory has been unearthed. Gee I feel old. Where did the time go?
I’m right there with you, Dulcie! A friend of mine gets Highlights for her grandson, and it actually has kind of kept up with the times. Seriously thinking about using some of the exercises for my ESL students!
Takes me right back to my pediatrician’s waiting room …
Our family vet had Highlights in his waiting room, too!
I read them in whatever waiting room I find them – at the OB/GYN, at PT I think they’re great and I wish I had illustrated for them. I have a friend who does.
And I just found the penguin head! I’ll try mine out to see if it’s just the head or the whole bird.?Rats, just the head.
Goofus and Gallant! Makes me happy just thinking about them.
??????(There’s NO penguin emoji! How is that possible???) Anyway, everybody is very “on” today. Thank you.
I found a penguin head ? but it’s really not enough. We need the full penguin emoji experience.
Came back to say: It’s a head when I type it in, but a full penguin after I hit save! Such wow.
I was gonna say, I see a whole pengiun!
Sometimes different systems render them differently, too, so some people might see a head depending on what device or browser they’re using.
I see the full penguin – I’m on a Mac desktop w/ Safari browser.
?
I has only a head.
No, hang on, it posts as a full penguin. Wonder what the other heads are?
????????????????????
You found the Cutetropolis Marching Band!
I only see heads and I have an iMac. Oh, the vagaries of the cyber world.
Did anyone see that June Foray, voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha, plus many other voices, died today – age 99. Also, it’s Beatrix Potter’s 150th birthday.
Oh, gosh. RIP, June Foray. She brought laughter and happiness to so many!
I think she was also the voice of little Cindy Lou Who in the original animated “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. RIP, Ms. Foray!
