'''Artie''' is red-haired UFO buff and pizza delivery boy who first appeared in "[[Esteemsters]]" and later in "[[The Lawndale File]]" and "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]."
 
==Character Overview==
His obsession with UFOs appears to have taken a turn into madness long, long ago. In an interview with [[Sick Sad World]], he went so far as to accuse [[Daria]] and [[Jane]] of being aliens, who had forced him somehow to lose his job delivering pizza.
'''Artie''' is red-haired UFO buff and pizza delivery boy who first appeared in "[[Esteemsters]]" and later in "[[The Lawndale File]]" and "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]." He was also an obstacle of sorts in the Daria video game "[[Daria's Inferno]]."

In an interview with [[Sick Sad World]], he went so far as to accuse [[Daria]] and [[Jane]] of being aliens, who had forced him somehow to lose his job delivering pizza. (Other dialogue in that episode makes it plain that Artie has lost many jobs.)
 
His UFO mythology is even strange by those standards. Among other things, he believes that aliens are stealing humans' skin, because the skin remembers everything you see, taste, or touch. He also believes that the aliens who kidnap him periodically also press his pants and do "a nice job."
