When you wake up and see you missed the 'you up?' text /Gxvb3hZ6d5 So many emotions in one fist /WHU9o7XeAGįrank Ocean I need answers bruh /6B0Eqk3M6L This is just a pic of Arthur's fist but idk how I feel that it's just so relatable. It all started when Twitter user AlmostJT pointed out the simple poignancy in a pic of Arthur's tightly clenched fist: The hot new meme of this moment - before the internet's collective attention spans reset - is the Arthur fist meme. These kids grew up to be the content creators and memesmiths of the internet today, hence us now hitting peak Arthur on the show's 20th anniversary. The show's pervasiveness no doubt left an impression on kids of the '90s who, like me, got their diet of wholesome life lessons and appreciation of family from a precocious aardvark with on-trend eyewear. This included the morning news the sitcom Frasier and most-influentially PBS's Arthur, a children's program that, no matter the time of day, would be discovered airing halfway through an episode. For this reason, my moral compass and world view were shaped by maybe seven channels of public TV.
I was one of those kids who didn’t have cable.
