Yeah, the inkblots are pretty much debunked now, but the gag with them is so good I'm glad they used them. Inkblot Arnold's little wink and finger gun is classic.

I thought about including the spinoffs, like The Patakis and The Jungle Movie (where they go to find Arnold's parents, and Arnold kisses Helga), as well as the fact that Craig Bartlett has said that Arnold and Helga are meant for each other, but I decided to stick with strict canon and not include Word of God stuff, just because it was already getting pretty long and I didn't want to come off like too much of a wild-eyed zealot. ;) But yeah, all the future stuff that was proposed is pretty strong H/A as well.

Glad you liked the essay!
