I can't believe Arthur, my favorite celebrity, gave in to corruption and became a sellout. Now I'm questioning everything. Is the library even fun?

He should have stuck with being an English alcoholic socialite in New York City.

I have a library card. But I still find it difficult to have fun sometimes. Was it all lies?!

Aardvarks are much better than anteaters, if we sort them lexicographically by name.

My first artichoke plant was named Arthur. Then a bastard cultist murdered it. I think that's about all i can go into it though.

Marc Brown in conjunction with PBS inspired 4 generations of children to learn tolerance, respect, and community. The good this man has done is arguably more far-reaching than Mr Rogers himself

For four generations we've been associating tolerance, respect and community with childish cartoon characters; something to be outgrown.

You are probably on to something here. We shouldn’t have tolerated everything. We shouldn’t have entertained their conspiracy theories or gave them a seat at the table at all.

We will have to figure out a way to do better.

Maybe the presence or size of the opposition is, in part, due to shit like that.

Arthur's first book was nothing but beta cope, but once he took looksmaxxing seriously he ascended to become a celebrity and cultural icon.

Take notes, children.

To be fair, that wasn't the final change to his appearance. His design jumped around a lot. This is very clearly a multi-verse situation. The Arthur-verse.

So I went and looked: aardvark means "earth pig" or "ground pig" in afrikaner

Also, this is Arthur's reaction
