Arnold

Sign in to edit

Arnold is the paper boy and one of the recurring characters that appeared in several episodes of the original series, The Flintstones and is known as Fred's arch-nemesis in some.

Background[]

He annoys Fred Flintstone every time he appears because every time he delivers the newspaper (which is made of stone), it hits Fred on the head and breaks into pieces. Arnold's honesty also tends to drive·Fred's patience, as he will often speak his mind (albeit in a polite manner), and his thoughts usually greatly annoy Fred as well.

His greatest grievance against Fred was joking that he would one day marry Pebbles Flintstone when they're older, which not only annoyed Fred but gave him one of the worst nightmares of his life in which an imaginary adult Arnold replaced and took over every part of Fred's life, like replacing Fred as a foreman at his job, replacing Fred as Barney's best friend, replacing Fred as the Grand Poobah of the Water Buffaloes, replacing Fred as the head of the Flintstones family. Much to Fred's horror, he topped it off by marrying Pebbles. Despite being a nightmare, the dream did little to improve Fred and Arnold's relationship.

Regardless of his questionable skills as a paperboy, Arnold is an excellent ping-pong and marble player, very good at scrabble, and good at many other activities. He shows that he is well wiser than Fred is. Even though he greatly annoys Fred, Arnold is a friendly and calm young lad everyone in town likes except for Fred.

Physical Appearance[]

Arnold is short with fair skin, brown hair, and black eyes.
