Appearance

Ed is a 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 wears glasses.
