Arthur has fled the fascist regime of California. He was going to come out earlier to audition for the part of the hit-man ferret on the Budweiser commercials. As it turned out, the studio was forced to go with an animated "muppet ferret" instead, since the real thing is currently prohibited by this fascist state.

Arthur tells a different story, though. He claims he was offered the role, but turned it down on principle. as he is a staunch teetotaler. "I may be a frog-killer," quipped Arthur, "but I'm no booze peddler. Not all of us ferrets are weasels. I have principles."

Although Arthur is pursuing a budding acting career, he got his start in the armed forces. He still likes to keep in shape, so that his audience will see the real thing, not some "Bruce Willis ripoff."

Arthur does some pull-ups to warm up for his combat training.

Arthur practices snake combat with a terry cloth belt. A veteran anti-serpent warrior, he once trained with the famed "Mongoose Battalion" of Sri Lanka.

"Back in the day, we didn't have parachutes. We had to jump from airplanes using plastic bags...."

Arthur and Schlager share a high-protein meal. Arthur convinced Schlager long ago that sometimes dogs must share their food.
