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 🤔

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

Arthur is supposed to be an anteater??!?

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

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

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

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