This is one of the older eps isn't it? You can always tell from the way it was drawn. The animation got progressively glossier and more sophisticated as the show went on.
Aw Helga. She was such a wonderful mix of pathetic stalker and badass head bitch in charge.
Also, I think this picture is kind of a decent representation of their relationship in these early episodes.
I like how you phrased that--Arnold is looking every which way but in Helga's direction, but only in the mirror panel directly behind Arnold do you see a reflection where it looks like Arnold is directly behind her--as in he always has her back. Naturally it's the one he can't see. XD
<333 I hadn't actually thought of it that far! I was mostly at: "Helga is pretend mad and Arnold is unconcerned." As the series progresses he really does begin to NOTICE her, but in these early episodes he doesn't really seem to care that much about her.
.......lol--wtg, self. I looked really far into it, didn't I? XD
Ngl, some of the later episodes of HA! are my favorite, not only because of the sleeker art, but because Arnold just didn't seem quite as fleshed out until later. However, I think by about halfway through S1 or S2, they'd gotten it. Though I might be funny on my timeline, I don't think Nickelodeon actually showed it in order...
Haha, I like your response very much though! IT WAS SO DEEP.
For me it's very mixed. I actually think I prefer the later episodes, but at the same time there the earlier episodes are the ones that were a lot more likely to make me cry or really, truly feel. Arnold was much more of a 9 year old in the early seasons.
OH MY GOD. I WANT TO RIDE THE COW CAROUSEL. I NEVER NOTICED IT BEFORE.
So... Phoebe's into the ladies then? I-I'm not sure what reason other than "I think Ruth is hot and here is why." that Phoebe would have a list describing a bunch of Ruth's physical assets.
Lololol. I didn't know there was canon evidence for Phoebe's bisexuality and/or lesbianism. Yessss.

I mean... unless she just makes lists of EVERYTHING or something. But yes, Phoebe might be into Ruth just a little. PERHAPS.
