  • What up with that anyway? Mr. Frensky appears to just be a regular garbage man, yet he gets space to build his own playground, can drive a garbage truck home whenever he wants (To Beat or Not to Beat). Also, he can sign out large amounts of equipment, like in Arthur Cleans Up, and is free to give Arthur a complete tour of the Sanitation Department's head office on his off day, even getting them to come up with computer simulations for him.
