‘The Rescue’ a short comic

Wolfgang messed with the wrong one.

Enjoy!

Hey Arnold Headcanon

Around the time Arnold is 11-12 Miles and Stella decides to adopt a parentless infant from the Green Eyed people. They name the child Phillipe Arnaldo Shortman. This would make a nice setup to parallel Helga and Olga’s relationship. Arnold would enjoy being an older brother, but because of the big age gap as Phillipe grows older, they start to drift apart. Arnold would come to Helga (and Gerald but Helga would better understand the specific situation better because of the age) for advice on how to be a better older brother to Phillipe and Helga and Phillipe would bond about their annoyance of their “perfect older siblings”. Helga and Phillipe’s will eventually have a sibling-like bond that she could really use while Arnold is away for college in a different state.

The Patakis would be amazing.

We would get to see more about Helga's family, analyse their characters and understand their actions! (Not justify them of course)

We would get Helga being herself but in more screen-time and as teenager, being more mature.

We would have Helga and Phoebe's friendship be more meaningful and Gerald and Phoebe's cute relationship! (And i hope Helga and Gerald's friendship)

Helga would be the star!

I love the idea of her and Arnold being apart only to get back together again. It would be so real! Also, we could see more depth about Arnold's feelings for her.

The only thing that it made sense but i didn't like it very much was The Patakis family designs. Don't get me wrong, they were accurate, but i just feel like we could make Helga more like a teenager with something in her changed than her just being taller with boobs.
