Fun fact: some of the voice actors from Arthur also appeared in Are You Afraid of the Dark? I was feeling nostalgic again so I drew Arthur and friends as their AYAOTD counterparts.

Jodie Resther: voice of Francine; Midnight Society member Kiki

Daniel Brochu: voice of Buster; Joshua the ghost from Kiki's story "The Tale of the Jagged Sign"

Michael Caloz: first voice of D.W. (Seasons 1 - 3); the title character from "The Tale of the Frozen Ghost"

Walter Massey: voice of Principal Haney; Grandpa Samuel from "The Tale of the Room for Rent". He also portrayed Bob McGorrill in "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 3".

Melissa Altro: voice of Muffy; Alex from "The Tale of the Room for Rent"

Arthur Holden: voice of Nigel Ratburn; the Court Jester from "The Tale of the Wisdom Glass". He also portrayed Ichabod Crane in "The Tale of the Midnight Ride" and Mr. Brooks, the chemistry teacher in "The Tale of the Dead Man's Float."

Michael Yarmush: first voice of Arthur (Seasons 1 - 5) and voice of grown up Arthur (series finale); Jonah from "The Tale of the Manaha". He also portrayed Peter in "The Tale of the Reanimator", and was the second voice of Tough Customer Slink (season 9 onwards).

posting this kinda late, but happy birthday to arthur and muffy!!🥳🎂

arthur is technically 50 years old this year because marc brown published arthur's nose in 1976. it's wild that he's been around for so long! i haven't posted any fanart in ages, so i made this to celebrate. i probably should've drawn something in february since that's when the book was published, but arthur's birthday works too haha

i’m like “you can totally go downstairs, but just so you know, right now the only thing down there is the genealogy department. that’s like the history of this area and the people who lived here a long time ago.”

i’m expecting them to lose interest, but to my surprise, they go “we want to see the genealogy department!!!!!!”

so i’m like “alright let’s do it!!!!” and lead this group of maybe six elementary school kids across the library make way for ducklings style and downstairs to our extremely not kid friendly genealogy room. our genealogy librarian is super cool, though, and he pulls out a few interesting things for them to look at & they ask a lot of questions and try to find where they live on maps from the 1800s

after about fifteen minutes, their curiosity has been sated, so we go back upstairs and over to the children’s department in that same duckling parade style

The big-haired cowboy lady who was upset that Muffy won last year’s dessert contest at the Strawberry Festival in “How the Cookie Crumbles” episode in Arthur.

A lot of public media will be destroyed by this. Public TV and radio are vital for rural areas in our country, and without them, anyone living there will have a difficult time finding out about important news in their area.
