Another exercise in nostalgia. I must have watched the entire 'Arthur' series as a child. I don't know why, but I remembered it being drawn in raw pencil lines, similar to 1977's 'The Rescuers.' I hold the series in high regard, though I find certain design choices: the stray hair-lines, the way Binky's protruding teeth are depicted who has a nose that is completely different from the others.... extremely off-putting. I also find the repetitive color palettes across characters puzzling, but the 'Pluto-Goofy' dissonance is what truly escapes me: how can the protagonist keep a pet dog when his friend Binky is a dog as well? Does Arthur inhabit a post-genetic experimentation dystopia that birthed these new 'furry' races?
