Chip Crosswire

Chip Crosswire is a character in the Arthur TV series. He is Muffy's college-age brother who is first referred to in Arthur's Perfect Christmas, first mentioned in the dialogue in "Phony Fern", and first appeared in Matchmaker, Matchbreaker. He is a freshman at Talahassee Tech, a fictional college in the series. He closely resembles his father Ed.

Appearance
Chip is a monkey depicted with a pale complexion and short orange hair with bangs, and wears a blue sweater over a white shirt, gray khakis, and green shoes with gray accents.

His original design was seen in a Crosswire family portrait inside of a tent at camp on a page in Arthur Goes to Camp, first published in 1982. His original design was clumps of hair, brown monkey fur, glasses, and a suit and tie. After being absent for over 25 years, he was brought back, and was completely redesigned and no longer wears glasses; but still wears a suit and tie as alternate clothing.

Friends
Chip has many friends from college, but they have never been seen in the series. It is unknown to where he went to and graduated from high school, and who his friends from high school were, although his family moved to Elwood City during Muffy's second grade year, but was never seen until Matchmaker, Matchbreaker.


 * Catherine Frensky - When Chip came home from Tallahassee Tech, he and Catherine both met after he learned that Muffy and Francine are best friends together. Muffy and Francine were planning to set up him and Catherine together as a date. He and Catherine both went out on a date, and spent time together from time to time. However, the two both eventually split up and no longer dated each other; and decided that they're just friends, not lovers.
