The animated PBS show Arthur is set to retire after its 25th season. For those of you who aren't familiar with Arthur, he's a bespectacled aardvark who eats pancakes instead of termites. But the real star of the show is his younger sister, D.W.
Dora Winifred is truly the icon we never knew we needed. She knows the perfect clap-backs, and she's graced us with so many comeback lines.
I thought that PBS stood for Public Broadcasting Service, but now it feels more like People Being Sad. Which is exactly how I'll feel every time I remember that I won't be getting any new sassy D.W. quotes.
Fortunately, the show will continue to live on in reruns and in memes. Here are ten of the show's best moments.
1. When she didn't take kindly to a waitress assuming her age
