Arty-Smarty was there through it all, the thick and the thin, the rough and the smooth.  It all, oh yes, it all.  Arthur started off his degrassi conquest by being shoved in a broom closet by Joey and some guy that no one cares about.  That's when he met Yick, his trusty sidekick.  After that, him and Yick followed Snake around to see how he gets so tall, that scheme didn't work out too well.  Next, him and Yick tried to watch Swamp Sex Robots but that didn't work out either. :(
Then, Arthur was having wet dreams so they called Sue Johannsen and she cleared things up for them.  Yick and Arthur then thought that Mr. Raditch was stereotyping Yick so they performed and experiment which also didn't work.  Too bad.  They squirted each other with water guns and locked Bartholomew Bond in the same  broom closet that Arthur was pushed into.  Arthur was taught how to play basketball by Yick, that actually worked.  Arthur had a crush on Caitlin but she liked Claude, so it didn't work out.  Arthur also lost the school project Amadeus, the snake, and scared Alex with it.  After they got to high school, Arthur lost touch with Yick until he t-p'd Mr Raditch's house with Yick.
