Remember them?
They’re characters from their own comic in Highlights for Children, a children’s magazine. I credit this magazine for sparking my interest in reading from an early age. No really. I can’t actually remember a time when I didn’t know how to read. Of course, I wasn’t reading War and Peace when I was three or anything. It was mostly age appropriate reading behavior. The Timbertoes were part of that. AND, as a friend recently pointed out, The Timbertoes was actually a COMIC.
I had never considered that before. The Timbertoes was one of my favorite features in Highlights as a kid. Apparently, my favorite feature was a comic. I suppose it’s not a small wonder that I greatly enjoy reading comics now, web or otherwise. Btw, Bearmageddon is updating again.
I didn’t really have anywhere to go with this post. I just thought it was interesting to finally realize that my love of comics started really early in life. Also, if you have a child, consider getting them a subscription to Highlights for Children. It’s probably one of the best things my parents did for me. Um…yes.
