"Sty" is a type of pimple you get on your eyelids.

So how many of you would deny Arnold a bowl of coleslaw?

They never did explain why Arnold is afraid of mayonnaise

They do actually! Here are some:Perrydotto wrote: ↑Sat Aug 17, 2019 6:36 pmdo Arnold's parents ever show up at least in dialogue form?
From when Arnold's baby brother was born.
This one has a rare appearance of Arnold's mom's hands
I think we can guess where Arnold's personality came from
Arnold's grandma has also spoken a few times:

So I'm reading Arnold's dialogues in Homestar's voice. It's eerie just how much that voice fits.

Re: Taking a pleasant walk and accidentally sitting on a badly decomposed cow ("Arnold" thread)
Reading through the strips with Arnold's parents, I noticed that, in a couple of them, Arnold's dad is "Henry", but later on he was called "Harold".
I DEMAND THAT ARNOLD HAS FLAWLESS CONTINUITY
(Arnold's mother being Martha is consistent, however )

Perhaps his nickname was Harry and someone assumed that it was short for Harold, not Henry.
or vice versa.

Here's another one where Arnold's parents set off a storyline.
Arnold's parents are anti-social

Re: IT'S BAMBI BURGER TIME ("Arnold" thread)
Just want to update this: Brett Koth, one of Jim Davis's assistants, verified on Facebook that Kevin McCormick worked on "Garfield" as a gag writer.

Re: IT'S BAMBI BURGER TIME ("Arnold" thread)
This explains a lot about late-'80s-early-'90s Garfield, frankly.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of...

Re: Show your enlarged criminal forehead ("Arnold" thread)
I do imagine some of the weirder "Garfield" gags from that era came from Kevin

Re: My baby force-fed my horse beans and she's makin' me sleep in the barn ("Arnold" thread)
Arnold's mom is Edna now.
You know, I'm going to pretend that Arnold goes to a different home every day without asking, say they're his son now, and whoever's living there just rolls with it because he's Arnold, it's better not to ask
