ARTHUR Comics

Screen Shot 2013-10-21 at 7.45.03 PMJust launched is our first interactive ARTHUR comic. Based on an episode where Arthur takes a joke way too far and becomes a bully, this interactive retelling lets young readers and their reading buddies explore different characters’ points of view and discover alternative endings.

Part of a major research project with our friends at the Institute for Applied Research in Youth Development within the Eliot-Pearson Department of Child Development at Tufts University, this HTML5 project was generously funded by the Templeton Foundation and PBS.

GBH’s extended multidisciplinary team included Gentry, Mary, Jeff, Dennis, Bill, Dan, Carol, Vanessa, Erica, Sonja, Gail, Jesse, and Cyrisse.
