Beaver's Poster

[MichaelMartinD]

I guess this was the closest to a Presidents Day episode. It had to do with the Revolutionary War, anyway. I crack up at the end when Harry says that the picture of Paul Revere on his horse looks like someone wrestling a pig. Well, he posed for it, so I guess he's the pig!

We also learned in this one that Ward was a talented cartoonist/artist in his early days. Who knew? But I guess you have to be fairly good in drawing to become an engineer in the Seabees.

Yeah, and Harry pronounced it rasslin' a pig. That was funny.

In a later episode Ward says something like art wasn't his forte (or maybe June says it). Whatever was needed at the time, I guess.

I've noticed how Arthur has a lot of elements that are reminiscent of Leave It to Beaver because of the running gag of D.W. and Brain having a lot in common. They also have a lot in common with Beaver and June. In "The Perfect Brother" (which is like "The Perfect Father," and an episode where Brain and D.W. have major roles) Arthur is drawing a picture of an animal, and D.W. asks him, "Is that a horse or a pig?" That was the only parallel to Harry Henderson I've seen on Arthur.
