Highlights Magazine: The Evil Version
Remember when you’d go to the dentist’s office when you were a kid and there’d be a copy of Highlights Magazine on the waiting room table? And you were so bored that you thumbed through the whole thing? Well, that magazine sucked. Really bad. Even eight-year-olds knew it blew. So, we decided to redo it. If there’s a hell, we’re going to it for this. Enjoy.

I asked Co-writer Patrick Schumacker if there was anything he wanted to plug and he said “I don’t know, Jon Augusts blog?” So, there you go.

I have been looking for hours at the last picture and I still can’t find anything “silly” about it. Thanks for wasting my fucking time.

The Captain-> Go listen to music by ABBA and then you will get it.

Scott - I just got done listening to their Greatest Hits album and I still don’t get it. Can you please explain it for me. Also can you find the definition of the word “irony” for me since I still don’t get what that means either. Thanks. Your the tops!

Give me more like this!

Captain or Captaion->
Go listen to Alanis Morissette “Ironic” and you will get irony.
July 15th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Its ironic because her song about irony really doesn’t describe irony. LAWL.

Disappointent fills my corpulent lard-laden body from my marrow to my oozing pustie-laden epidermis at the lack of tentacles assaulting lithe nubile females with skimpy pleated skirts barely covering those luscious upper-thigh regions.

OH WOW! I had a whole pile of the original magazines… some family friends offloaded this pile onto my poor unsuspecting parents… and seeing this page has brought back so many memories of childhood rainy days… lying around wishing for something better to read!
Great work! I agree that one knew this magazine was pretty lame… even when you were only 6. Funny stuff.

Prety wicked stuff dude!

Funny stuff. I hated Highlights in offices too. Whenever my family goes to family counseling in the office there is that stupid magazine. Uh. But it was funny thanks for publishing it.

That bit about the responses to the letters about dinosaurs is fucking hillarious. “You’re as stupid as my whore ex-wife” haha.

this was pretty hilarious
July 16th, 2008 at 9:36 am
I have been up all night listening to the complete ABBA catalog and I still don’t see what’s silly. I also didn’t get what “irony” means from the Alanis song. “a free ride when you already paid”? So irony means “shit happens”? PLEASE HELP!
July 16th, 2008 at 11:47 am
Tina, that wasn’t funny at all.
The Captain, shut up.
July 16th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Very funny!
July 16th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Tina, that was hilarious.
Shaggy, suck it.

Somewhere, a formerly dismal part of my childhood is now smiling. Thank you.

LOL! Sure, I get paid a lot of money to write big studio movies, such as Big Fish and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, but I can indubitably say that this is a wonderful case study of where writing is heading into the next millennium (yes, the year 3000, and it’s coming sooner than you think). Keep up the great work, guys, and thanks for linking to my blog.

Wow, it’s getting really hard to tell Goofus from Gallant among the commenters.

Captain: You must really feel like a dumb fuck dip shit for wasting precious hours trying to figure the picture out when you could’ve been using that time to jerk off on your momma tits. Total knuckle head.

I’m surprised this doesn’t pan the idiotic Timbertoes — all kinds of room for wood jokes. . .

I was just showing my daughter a copy of Highlights. I think we both would have enjoyed this one more.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
This made me laugh. Highlights is classic suckiness at it’s finest.
Poor Goofus…He’s such a fuckin retard.
July 31st, 2008 at 11:52 am
Nice hosting your pics off of Flickr. Now I get to see pics of your apartment and Ho! Tis best to separate business from personal.
Anyho….Funny as shit. Make more Highlights.
