Description
Semi-hidden subtle sign in the background is subtle. XDOkay, not really, but I like to pretend a little bit.
For this one Gerald is portrayed as a (Ta-da!) Sports newscaster for the Sports News Network. I like the idea of it as he gets to not only tell stories, but also to speak on the subjects he likes (people and sports). All while looking very natty-datty in his suit and suspenders.
The blue with the red was chosen because, well, why should I ruin such a winning combination that he's worn for so long? But with the blue dominate I wanted to point out the change of personality as he's grown up, where the blue is more subtle and the red is less ostentatious...all while still pulling off the lucky number 33 that he seems to bear so well.
Looking like this, I imagine Phoebe watches sports ever night, never mind the fact that she's not really a fan in any way, shape, or form. *grins*
Gerald belongs to Craig Bartlett and Nickelodeon. Ka-chow!

Oh! As a note, this was inspired by the thought of growing up and growing older again. Because, honestly, Hey Arnold came out in 1996 when I was nine years old. The same as the characters. Which means that if they had been allowed to age properly they would have all been 24 by now...and adults, pursuing occupations and life goals, etcetera.
So this one and the Arnold pic are the end result of that inspiration.

I feel some sort of, "Helloooooooooooo Nurse" joke coming on, but I can't seem to put it into a sentence and manage a straight face. So I'll leave it to your imagination.
HOWEVER, I agree. Boy howdy, do I agree.

*grins* Glad you like him. Although I've gotta admit, the pose and clothing were all his idea. XD

XD *laughs* Yes, I definitely agree with you there--Phoebe is one lucky lady.
And thank you very much! I actually didn't know about that aptitude test, but it makes me both surprised and happy that things worked out that way! ^^

Yeah! His test said he'd be good as like a gameshow host, and he spent the whole rest of the eisode talking like a host. Going, "Oh-ho, you are CORRECT sir!" and such. And Arnold got really agitated! XD So anything that would require him to use his public speaking skills would be the perfect profession for him!

Okay, now that's just hilarious. XD I can't help but picture him as a dating show host or something, where Helga and Arnold are the contestants. *laughs*

*snaps fingers in surprise* That could totally work! Especially if he got into basketball in/after college, then had to stop because of an injury. *nods*

Exactly; or not even an injury, just retiring while he's still in good physical conditions.

True! I wouldn't want to injure him unnecessarily. ^^

I love this rendition of Gerald, I could easily see him on an ESPN style show like PTI, lol

Me too! Hamming it up and showing his good side while he suavely follows the play-by-plays.
Thank you very much!
