Target's outstanding production values as well as the quality of cartoonists and writers on its editorial board made it stand out from other contemporary Indian children's magazines like Tinkle, Champak and Chandamama.
A popular feature in Target was pages with information on international pen friends. In the age before email revolutionised communication, having pen friends was a popular hobby, both for the purpose of knowing about the world at large, and collecting stamps from foreign countries.
Some of the popular comic strips published in Target were:
- Gardhab Das by Jayanto and Neelabh
- Detective Moochwala and Pooch and Funny World by Ajit Ninan
- Granny's Gupshup by Praloy Chakrovorty
and Joygopal Podder and others
- It Happened in History written by Renuka Narayanan and illustrated by Suddhasattwa Basu.
- Science News illustrated by Priya Nagarajan and others

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“To be content with life—or to live merrily, rather—all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“He that wants money, means, and content is without three
good friends.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
