This Cartoon Saturday falls on PBS news anchor Jim Lehrer's birthday. So we're digging up something on PBS animated stalwart Arthur. Arthur is an aardvark who originally appeared (and continues to appear) in a series of books by Marc Brown. Though his television series began in 1996, Arthur first appeared in animated form on an episode of another PBS program, Reading Rainbow.



This doll really doesn't look much like the animated version of Arthur.
