LiVE LiKE BUSTER

/had to rush drawing thanks to technical problems but I think its still cute 😭/

gosh… it’s so hard hard to believe Arthur has been going so long and is now ending. even thought i kind of thought it would keep going forever, it’s still really impressive to keep a kid’s program in the air for 25 seasons!!

anyway, i grew up with these guys and will always love them. this program more than any other was so important to me, and i have now have that bittersweet feeling of watching a childhood friend grow up and move away. i will miss them, but i’m so glad they were in my life and i’m grateful that they were always there for me.

lmaoooo i have no idea and they redesigned him TWICE it’s wild

og bo looked just like buster. the splitting image. his design wasn’t very original but at least he fell in line with how the other parents looked. at least he didn’t look creepy

then we have bo 2.0 who made his first horrific appearance in season 8 episode 6 “postcards from buster,” the pilot episode for arthur’s spinoff of the same name. i guess they redesigned him because bo’s design looked too similar to buster’s so they decided to make him look TERRIFYING. WHAT EVEN. 

well thank fuck pbs decided that bo 2.0 was a no go for the spinoff, so they redesigned him AGAIN, leading to bo 3.0, who looks like a human man with surgically attached rabbit ears. they managed to make him look less ugly but tbh he’s pretty creepy looking.
