There are some strange going-ons when it comes to Arthur, that should be fleshed out by the paragons of knowledge that is GBS.

Among the issues are

Why did Arthur's family have a pet?

Arthur was an aardvark, and some of his classmates were dogs. And yet here, we have Arthur with a pet dog.



Was Arthur illegally keeping people as his slave? Is there some form of indentured servitude in the Arthur universe?

Another issue to emerge is

Binky does not seem to be an actual bully.



Binky is portrayed as being a bully to some extent, however he is never actually seen being a bully, at least not in the episodes I've watched. He's actually a complex person with similar interests (arguably more cultured interests, with proof being his interest in the clarinet) to the rest of the group. However he is pigeonholed as being a bully. A part of this definitely seems to be based on class, so is he part of this indentured class of people that may possibly exist, as mentioned above?

Lastly, another issue is

What species is Buster's dad?

He shares some traits with a rabbit, however as one sees below, shares more traits with a human than a rabbit.



He almost looks like a human trying to pass himself off as a rabbit.

The latter issue brings up a more far sweeping discussion of just what is the Arthur universe? Is it some type of post-Doctor Moreau type future, where hybrid animals have taken over the planet? Is it some sort of alternate dimension? Who knows?
