Talk:Arthur's Nose/@comment-98.16.141.18-20111119234944

I grew up with "Arthur's Eyes" (1979) as a kid and, in my mind, that was the story of Arthur. When it became popular on TV more recently, I thought that something seemed off about it. So, for basically no reason, I decided to look up "Arthur's Eyes" and found that it was the *second* book (I had just assumed that it was the first). Lo, "Arthur's Nose" preceded it and therein lies an irony. After teaching kids to be proud of who they are and their own appearance, his appearance was altered over the years, essentially giving Arthur that nosejob he wanted in the first book! Maybe he should have laser surgery to correct his eyes, too, so we can relearn shame about our glasses.
