Appearance
Arthur Read, Full name- Arthur Timothy Read, is an aardvark. He has a bald head which is common throughout the Read Family. The color of his eyes appears to black. In Episode 118 "Arthur Weighs In", Arthur cannot fit into his suit, and must buy a husky one, suggesting the fact that he is on the borderline of wearing husky clothing. Arthur's everyday clothes do not vary much at all, he is normally seen wearing a yellow sweater with a white shirt under that. He also wears jeans and red and white sneakers. His glasses are his signature feature. The frames are round and are brown-colored. Arthur's eyes seen in early episodes (Mostly Season 1) were larger then they currently are with white surrounding the pupils. Now his ares are simply black dots when he is not wearing his glasses.
