Someone needs to stop Arnold and Helga, seriously 🫪 I've been exploring this dynamic between the four characters again. I think that as young adults they'd be best friends and hang out often.

Except, you know... Arnold and Helga are sometimes late, always with a different excuse, which Gerald and Phoebe don't buy at all 😅.

I hope you really like this mini-comic. It took me a while because I put a lot of love into the color palette 😅🩷.
