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?

also made him lighter skinned 🤔

Arthur is supposed to be an anteater??!?

That's actually very accurate modern day's double standards.

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

Making him perfect one step at a time

There's absolutely nothing wrong with your nose, but if you ever want to change that hideous thing on your face, give me a call

He's a fucking aardvark?! 🤦‍♂️

something was, in fact, wrong with Arthur's nose

His shirt also went from rad as hell to swirly bait

Just like all the body positivity ppl once a shot could make you skinny

He traded his nose for some minor sight defects.

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

Looks like they just shortened his face, the nose is the same
