Arthur Everest

Arthur is a moth. Or a bunny. Or a moth-bunny. Maybe. He's definitely an accountant. Oh, and he's also a sidekick. Arthur is a fictional comic book superhero featured in The Tick line of comic book titles as first produced by New England Comics. He first appeared in The Tick #1 in June 1988. A version of Arthur was a main character on the 1994 The Tick animated cartoon series where he was voiced by Rob Paulsen. The character appeared in the 2001 live-action The Tick television series where he was portrayed by actor David Burke. In the 2016 re-imagining of the series on Amazon Video, the character was given the surname of Everest and was played by Griffin Newman.

Biography
Arthur was a nerdy and somewhat chubby accountant who lived in The City. Donning a white costume with a wing harness, he became a superhero sidekick to The City's chief protector, The Tick.

Arthur and the Tick both lived in Arthur's apartment. Occasionally, they relied upon Arthur's sister, Dot, for various deeds, which included mediating arguments between the two. Arthur was the brother-in-law of Neil, who married Dot after being cured of an affliction that temporarily turned him into a dinosaur.

Arthur fell in love with and began dating Carmelita Vatos, who was the daughter of crackpot inventor J.J. Eureka Vatos - the man who invented his moth suit.
