3) He cries a lot Apparently, many of us are suckers for that

Well, Gary cries a lot too (the crucial difference being that Gary weeps silent tears while Crackers lets loose into full-scale bawls). And he is so-called simply because it's what happened to fit into Uncle Pockets' rhyming scheme. Crackers was given his name for the sake of a momentary comic misunderstanding. Both characters were conceived for the sake of throwaway gags, essentially.

I did consider creating a thread for Gary a long time ago, but eventually decided against it, resolving simply to write my Official Gary Appreciation post in the "Who Would You Adopt?" thread. Other than the fact that he's prone to lacrimation (but also has the ability to snap out of his sorrow pretty easily, at least on the surface), that Uncle Pockets likes toying with his fragile emotions (again, presumably because it's the name which best compliments his compulsion toward rhyming) and that Bloo considers him to be a "loser", we might be a bit limited to what we could actually discuss in such a thread (particularly since so few members seem to share my enthusiasm for the little crying kitten). But Gary's awesome nonetheless, and he's definitely one of the IFs I'd be most interested in adopting, if I ever had the chance.

(Obviously, the character I'd most like to adopt is Kip Snip. Sadly he's not available.)
