Who remembers Marginal Marvin?
No Googling!
 If you remember, give us your favorite example.

Get off my lawn!

I googled it and I still have no idea who or what you are trying to get someone to remember. I saw several different things on google and not of them were anything I had ever heard of before.
Gee, I likely will not be able to sleep now.......

I remember Messy Marvin, the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter guy, and Mikey, who eats everything. Do those count?

Sounds very familiar. Was he in the Highlights magazine? One of the "Goofus and Gallant" type stories?

I'm thinking many of you may not have known he had the name, Marginal Marvin, but would remember his comments. I'll give you one that will likely clear the cobwebs.

I cheated - so I'm not going to tell, but it is pretty cool to go on a search of something google doesn't easily register. Fun project! Thanks.

Marvin was associated with a famous coverboy whose initials are, A.E.N. and he commented on various topics from various locations. Don't get mad, you'll never know.
