You'll Never Have More Fun than with a Game of Dunce
Aah yes. For once, I can say this isn't something I lived through. Like a pigeon, I was born fully grown! (My urban friends will understand that, as no one in the world has seen a baby pigeon.) Digress. DUNCE was a tasteful game produced by the Schaper company. It's what plastic was invented for! Johnny comes home from a humiliating long day at school, and his parents want to make him play school MORE.
I would guess a third of my nightmares go back to school. Brain wrinkles store up the most horrendous memories.
Schaper make a load of toys you might remember. Cootie (that thing you put plastic legs into) and DELUXE Cootie, Skunk, Lil Stinker, Tumble Bug, Snap-eze and Tiddle Tac Toe among them. Maybe letting your kids play video games isn't so bad after all.
