Appearance

Ed is monkey depicted with a pale complexion, short combed orange hair; and wears a suit consisting of a light pink shirt, pink necktie, a light blue jacket, bluish-green pants, a belt buckle, and brown shoes.

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. In his original design, he had clumps of hair and brown monkey fur, and was wearing glasses and a suit and tie. He was absent for over 10 years, and was brought back in the cartoon in Season 1, and completely redesigned, and no longer wore glasses. He is thought to be around 40-50 years old like most other parents in the series.
