The Beeper Queen
Big Bob's back injury keeps him from work, so Miriam goes to work for him, and soon spends more and more time involved in the business - and less and less time with Helga

Written by Michelle Lamoreaux
Storyboard Direction by Chris Headrick
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artist: Chris Robertson

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Helga - Francesca Smith
Phoebe - Anndi McAfee
Miriam - Kath E. Soucie
Big Bob - Maurice LaMarche

  • If you ask me, "professional" Miriam looks a lot like Olga
  • How did Miriam lose her license?  Presumably, she had one in "Road Trip"
  • Helga has "Buffalo Chips" in her lunch - buffalo chips are, well, something you try not to step in

Oskar Can't Read?
No, he can't - until Arnold helps him

Written by Joseph Purdy
Storyboard Direction by Chris Headrick
Animation Direction by Frank Weiss
Storyboard Artists: Kurt Dumas, Ted Seko

Cast:
Arnold - Spencer Klein
Oskar - Stephen Viksten
Suzie - Mary Scheer
Grandpa - Dan Castellaneta
Mr. Hyunh - Baoan Coleman
Ernie - Dom Irrera
Librarian, kid with map - Laraine Newman
Chocolate Boy, Jamie (kid in library) - Jordan Warkol

  • If Oskar can't read, how does he know where to deliver newspapers?
  • If Oskar can't write his own name, who put his name on all of the Secret Santa slips in "Arnold's Christmas"?  (If Suzie did, she would have said something)
  • No wonder Oskar does so poorly at the racetrack - he can't read a racing form (that's a newspaper that shows how the horses did in their previous races)
  • When Arnold holds A Tale of Two Cities and reads the title, he's holding it upside-down
  • Oskar could have just called a taxi and told him to stop near the boarding house - but that assumes Oskar has enough money for a crosstown cab ride
