On the brief comment you made about kids being addicted to those candy bars, that was the entire point of the episode: to educate kids about addiction. It's not a dark secret or concerning, it was deliberately included because they wanted to teach kids the dangers of addiction in an effort to make sure they did not get addicted to things even worse than candy bars. That's not concerning, that's a brave move that trusts kids to handle difficult topics in an effort to protect them. Personally, I think such a decision by the show should be applauded, it was a necessary lesson for kids living in the modern world to protect them.

[@perrytheblyatapus9117]

I thought there was a substance in the candy bars

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

@@perrytheblyatapus9117 There was. The company had put some kind of additive in the bars to make them addictive. So when kids ate them, it sort of gave them a high and later withdrawal. They even explained the mechanics of addiction on the brain in the episode. It was a great way to show the dangers of addiction without going to the drug territory. Foods can be addicting too and if kids are taught to watch out for that, they will know to watch out for even more addictive substances like drugs when they get older.

they actually had an episode (D.W.'s Time Trouble) where D.W. has a dream about going back in time and convincing her parents to choose her as their first child instead of Arthur when they go to the baby store at the mall.

Like.. his dominant gene (being human) is the recessive gene in the other characters..(which is why they have human qualities).. Im just thinking....idk if im even making sense...its just like...he looks like he was made to stand out amongst the other characters.

Not gonna mention the fact Pal is Arthur's pet, and yet is the same species as some of the anamorphic characters?

[@coal1818]

Well, I'm starting to think that anthropomorphic animals and pets in arthur are actually different species that still look similar. Kind of like how monkeys and human evolved from the same species, but split off into their own branches. Pets and anthros in Arthur are like that, but instead of splitting off long ago, they split off fairly recently. Of course, theres probably a lot of holes in this theory, but that's just what I thought lol.

[@lunasea593]

[@BrunoEwok]

7 months ago, Space Pirate Bum had a theory that almost works below. Fixing it so that it does work also fills in one of the central problems with the show. SPB theorized that the gene that makes a rabbit a rabbit was a dominant allele. At first, I objected that without genetic recombination, all rabbits would have to be clones of each other. With genetic recombination, the offspring would necessarily share the traits of both parents, and the rabbits would cease being rabbits. But wait: That's exactly the problem with Arthur's animation: all the animals basically look alike, except for certain telltale traits. Stick ears on Arthur, and he looks exactly like a bunny. If the traits were on a gender chromosome, they could remain distinct while all other traits blend into the indistinct general form of all animals on the show.
