Arthur (plant)
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Arthur was a running gag in-joke in MAD magazine; a potted plant approximately a yard (one meter) tall, with only two leaves, right at the tip, who showed up in various scenes. Arthur was reportedly inspired by an actual avocado plant in the MAD office; plants grown from avocado pits do have the property of growing in such a fashion until the top is pruned.
