Description
This would've been my dream spin-off/sequel series for Arthur. I know some tend to look down on 'time-skips' (I liked All Grown Up...or at least the idea of it) but just think of how perfect a four year jump would be: Arthur and the gang are 12 and such; 'practically adults' and having to deal with the "wonders" of puberty, middle-school and that whole...scene.Meanwhile D.W (who would be the main focus and headliner)and her friends are now 8 - the original crews' ages - letting us see things from their perspective.
------------------------
EDIT (9/5/15)
So I've been doing the comic since January? Wow, didn't think I had it in me
I decided to update the image and 'streamline' the character descriptions a bit; rather than iron them out too much here I'll just give a general 'gist' of the main crew and leave the details for later in the comic.Listing from left-to-right:

I think this is really cool, in fact. I, believe it or not, used to watch Arthur, Caillou, and some others. The middle character brings a lot of memories back to me, and that is great. I also remember the dog. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

This drawing reflects the original style very much. I'd love to see you work on some kind of animation based on it.
Vision: I love the idea to death.
Originality: Nothing much to say there.
Technique: Spot-on. Very true to the original.
Impact: Gave me a flood of memories from when I was a little child.
Overall: Bravo.

Can you tell mark brown to make more of your new arthur characters? That would be sooo cool

None of these characters are "new"; just aged-up versions of existing ones - but I appreciate the sentiment!

It's good to see Arthur characters all grown up and what they look like today. Arthur was one of the best PBS shows in the 90's where I grew up.

D.W. will be a perfect sequel to Arthur.

How very nice of you to say.

Lisa's favorite pastime is winning, huh? Makes me wonder what happens when she plays games with her family and friends. I can imagine things escalating quickly.

Question: What happened to Kate and Pal? I think they were in the old one.

They're still in the strip, this image just focuses on D.W. and her peers, instead.

Here's an idea for a Christmas drawing: Have these kids from your D.W. webcomic doing the dance scene from "A Charlie Brown Christmas".

Thanks, I really think I have improved thanks to doing 'D.W.'

It's an expression (maybe I used it wrong); basically I started doing D.W. just as an aside to improve my drawing skills and consistency so I could be better equipped to make a completely different comic, but then I ended up having so much fun with D.W. - and people really seemed to like it (which really surprised me) - that it sort of ended up becoming my 'main thing'. I still hope to do the other comic (based on another PBS show: WordGirl) somewhere down the line but right now I'm just really happy with D.W. Plus it really has helped me to improve, like I hope the updated picture shows.

very nice.

Ever since i was a teenager, i always wanted to see an Arthur spin-off that took place 4 years later. Thank you for this.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow, that means a lot. Thank you

Woah. I like this. But here in the picture they themselves look 12-ish to me. Eh

Also: Since I saw Jane Read in the D.W. world, where's David Read? How about all the parents of the Arthur kids? I bet Bitzi Baxter remarried Bo Baxter by that time.
And I guess Mr. Ratburn is teaching a new generation 3rd. grade class, and Mr. Haney retired as principal, and Mrs. MacGrady retired from the school cafeteria.
Even Miss Morgan, the preschool teacher, is teaching a new generation preschool class.
And I won't expect the grandparents of Grandma Thora and Grandpa Dave in the D.W. world, same for Mrs. Grandma Tibble. (We never got to see on Arthur the Tibble's real parents!)
Also: In this D.W. world: Is Catherine Frensky and Rubella Deegan and Alberto Molena now college aged? And I bet Chip Crosswire graduated from college and is about to turn into an adult.

That's an awful lot of folks you're worried about, unfortunately I've only started to think about just a few of them.
But I'll do my best to find a 'future' that suits them and hopefully you wont be disappointed

They'll get their turn, eventually.

Yes, AND Mei-Lin. Though personally I think the whole 'Let's adopt an Asian!' thing has almost reached trope status; Rugrats, Kim Possible, now Arthur? Little conspicuous, s'all I'm saying...
