PFFFTHAHA THE CHECKLIST POST
frankly we don't hang enough shit on Arthur for some of his s1 crimes
he stole that boat in broad daylight in mid fucking afternoon after asking the rental guy and getting told no
Arthur's crime spree in Sweetwater put in context.
he stole $200USD when he was leaving the hospital
inflation says that's over $4000 now
then immediately spent most of that on a gun and fake ID
I'm gonna be historian nerd for a moment and say that it's even worse than inflation indicates, because buying power and necessities change so much over history. So for additional context, in 1931, average low starting wage across all industries in the US was 10 cents an hour, or $208 a year. Arthur stole the equivalent of some people's yearly salary.
luckily he stole it from a lost and found box behind an incinerator in the hospital basement, hidden in the lining of an abandoned hat
(thanks John for noticing it)
It's been so wild finding out his name isn't "actually" Parker
i think harlan's excuse is that he just straight up got mixed up bc of his kid and called him Peter Parker, but no his real name is Peter Yang. the watsonian explanation is that Parker is his father's name
so on arthur's door it says "Arthur Lester and Peter Yang
"
