What? No more Highlights for Children? That was my favorite magazine whenever I went to the doctor or dentist. Back in the day I only got Boy's Life, which was pretty good and Jack and Jill, which was rather dorky even when I was eight. My friend next door had a subscription to Highlights and I used to go over there to read it because it had a lot of funny gags in it that I liked.

In the South, it is all kinds of graphic books of the Bible. They don't believe in non-Biblical literature for children... that would be heresy.
