Cop-Haters Furious After Last 'Arthur' Episode Ever Reveals a Main Character Grows Up to Join the Police Force

The final episode of the longest-running kids’ cartoon show revealed the grown-up lives of the show’s characters, and cop-haters are not happy with the fate of one animated girl.

“Arthur,” a series about Arthur the aardvark’s days with family and friends, has been a childhood favorite for countless people since it first aired in 1996. For some, the love goes back to 1976 — when the first book in the series that would inspire the show, “Arthur’s Nose,” was published.

All of this came to an apparent end Monday as the animated series aired its last episode ever.

While the characters will live on in other projects, the show is coming to a definitive close.

“Kids are our boss, and we listen to them,” Arthur’s original creator, Marc Brown, told the Los Angeles Times

“And that is one of the most often asked questions we got: ‘What happens to Arthur? What happens to Francine?’ And so it seemed like a logical gift to give these loyal viewers something that they really wanted.”

Not everyone was happy with the end these characters got.

Main character Arthur becomes a writer, while other pillars of the show take on jobs as schoolteachers, business owners and weathermen.

Arthur’s sister, D.W., becomes a 🚓Police officer.
