Hmm, Artie was a weird character. Just a really pathetic man who was caught up in something that didn't really reflect who he was. I couldn't help but feel he was living a life he never wanted to live, and that his whole existence was to be treated like s**t. He's one of the biggest losers on the show.
Yes totally agree. He was on a tight leash from Mrs Artie.....she knew that he was out of his depth and the s**t storm if he ever got totally involved...which was highly unlikely.
