Crackers

[FostersFriend]

Who else here thinks Crackers is the cutest lil thing ever? apart from Bloo etc ever since I saw Crackers on Mac Daddy. Darn it was cutness overload. Anyone else here a Crackers fan??:nyah:

[Shany]

I think Crackers is adorable! I wonder why she/he never got adopted. Maybe it's the whining.

[FostersFriend]

Or was never noticed Crackers is very small lol :D

[Scribble]

I'd adopt Crackers! (along with half the house!) I agree that he/she is incredibly cute!^^ And he/she does seem very sensitive so I guess that accounts for the whining. Does anyone actually know what gender Crackers is? o.o

[SkittleMonkey]

I dunno, I always thought Crackers was a guy, despite his pinkness.....

[FostersFriend]

Really! I always thought Crackers was a girl a) cuz Crackers is pink
b) Very high voice Well to be honast I don't actually know lol

[Imaginary Light]

I like Crackers. I would totally adopt him/her.

[SkittleMonkey]

Really! I always thought Crackers was a girl a) cuz Crackers is pink
b) Very high voice Well to be honast I don't actually know lol

Just because Crackers has such a high-pitched voice doesn't necessarilly mean he/she is a girl. One of my good friends is a guy and if you weren't looking at him while he was talking, you could very well mistake him for a girl! 8D

[One Radical Dude]

We'll probably never know about Crackers's gender, so I'm going to continue to refer to Crackers as "him/her/it".

[Mac]

Too cute and adorable for me. Bleh.

[bloonuggets]

They thought they wanted something to eat and real crackers. But then again, that's what they all say.

[pitbulllady]

Yeah, he/she is cute, but I wouldn't want to adopt him/her. I prefer bigger dogs that don't TALK, myself! Besides, my snakes would look at Crackers funny, and I don't mean that as in "ha-ha" funny, either. I mean, as "Oh, THERE'S lunch, and it's PINK!" funny!

I still don't quite get the popularity of a character who was only seen for like, two seconds, not even long enough to really know anything about, and has not been seen or mentioned since.

pitbulllady

[kageri]

S/he/its strong resemblance to a Neopet bugs me.

[vinny]

i thought it was a girl. i still do. if it is a girl, i'v made a big mistake.

[leadballoon]

I LOVE Crackers! That has to be one the funniest/cutest moments in the show ever :)
As for the gender issue? Haven't a clue, it's a tricky one alrighty...

[Bloo2daMacs]

poor old crackers, I beleive that there is like this whole fansite for crackers. It's kind of weird condsidering that he (meh, I'll swith between calling her he or she) was in the show for less than a period of 10 seconds. :P

Kageri: He's my favorite, couldn't you have killed Crackers instead?

Crackers: ;_;

Kageri: No offense little dude, but you remind me of a Neopet.

Crackers: *runs away crying*

he he, poor old crackers... he...
just a little quote made by Kageri in Imaginary Party, two more seconds of crackers for those crackers fans.

Any way, I'm somewhat glad crackers wasn't adopted by that guy who was gonna adopt Cheese. If Crackers seemed miserable before, he'd seem even more miserable having to sleep with cheese at night.. *shivers*

[Thornwhistle]

I find Crackers to be so cute that I want to adopt her/him myself.

[LaBlooGirl]

I love Crackers, and I never once thought that IF was anything but a boy. It never even crossed my mind that he would be a girl, don't know why.
He's cute, but maybe TOO cute, could be one reason why he doesn't get adopted, who knows.

[BlooCheese]

It's voice is too high and squeaky. Squeaky things hurt my ears. And it's too pink. Bright pink things hurt my eyes. Yeah. Go ahead and call me an old lady.

[Nyo]

I thought Lauren said Crackers was female.

[FostersFriend]

Crackers Makes a second appearans in Cuckoo For Coco Cards she/he runs with the crowd right in the front out the main entrance door just before Eduardo does his bike stunt. :bloogrin

[Medikor]

Crackers is just adrorable! It's eye's are so cute!

[One Radical Dude]

I thought about asking Lauren about Crackers's gender, even though it's no big deal. I always thought it was a female, but it could be gender-neutral. :P

[koosie]

Maybe he, maybe she, maybe neither, maybe both. Crackers is the centre of all things.

Thanks for the screengrabs, Sparky. Had so much fun since I found them!

[leadballoon]

Wow, Fostersfriend - I never knew that! I must watch that episode extra-carefully very soon...can't wait to see that! :)

[FostersFriend]

Well for those who are intrested heres the ;picture of Crackers second appearance. In Cuckoo For Coco Cards. Just before Ed does his bike stunt.

:bloogrin

[Sparky]

Thank you FF!!!

[One Radical Dude]

Aw, there goes Crackers!! :D

[taranchula]

Look at that grin on Cracker's face in that picture, I never knew someone who would take such joy at watching a fellow housemate doing something incredibly crazy. (I.E Eduardo's bike stunt)

I guess Crackers must really be into that Evil Knievel stuff.

[leadballoon]

That is super-cool! :D Thanks for posting it

[vinny]

i'd so go out with crackers.

[koosie]

FF: Astronomical gratitude!

Oh Crackers
It's been so long since we took the time.....

[vinny]

i made this for you guys, or who ever wants it

Seems like everyone's taking the fun time to look for crackers in episodes have you seen crackers?

Well done to CG who spotted Crackers in the big picture! :bloocross:

It's like playing a Where's Crackers game. lol

[FostersFriend]

Yeah. Lots of ppl should contribute *fun fun fun :bloocross:

[Kippixel]

I remember back at the evil TV.com everybody made a huge deal out of this guy. I never understood why. Is it just cause he's cute, like everyone's saying? O_O

[koosie]

When i read this, i thought 'i'm not even going to dignify that with a response'
but it's just occurred to me how can you know i'm not dignifying it with a response? From your perspective i may have just not noticed it or agree to the point where that's the last word on the subject.

But you're right. There's a big cuteness gap in my life obviously. I've got this cat but it's not cute. It's a psycopath. Didn't somebody have a Crackers-like dog? I would like that dog or one of the same make. Then i would spend every day doing whatever it wanted to do.

[donna323]

...Crackers is pathetic. I mean, she feels sorry for herself to the point of needing psychoanalysis.

Crackers needs to speak to Mr. Herriman about seeing a counselor so she can find her identity.

:gooblab:
~D~

[GrimTheLost]

I liked Crackers. So cute.

[fosterman]

crackers is cute :) :bloogrin :frankiesmile: ;) :D :terrsmile: ;D :cheese: :goo: :mfoster:

Hehe! Like Crackers could afford psychoanalysis.

If anyone's still interested, I'm sure I saw Crackers diving into the mud in 'The Big Cheese'. I'd like a confirmation on that.

I've still not given up on my giant statue of Crackers you know. It's going to block out the sky in much of the northern hemisphere, then we'll see who's pathetic.

[xxxClaire]

Crackers is awesome! :bloosmirk:

...you've GOT to be kidding ::) ...anyways, Mr. Herriman does NOT help IF's about finding counselers and all that stuff.

Anyways, Crackers is cute. I think I saw her in a scene from "cuckoo for coco cards" when the IF's go and rush through the door to watch Eduardo do that stunt on the bike.

And so CrackersWatch fervently continues, despite the warnings I've received from the delectable Bruce Hornsby to stay away from such things (he didn't have that much confidence about Cheese, either :cheesegrin: ). Ah well, anyone who dares to mess with the little pink warrior will surely get what's coming to them. Long live the Crackers!

(Oh yeah, and if anybody has any idea which song by the great keyboard wizard I'm referring to...well, words cannot describe just how awesome you are :D ).

[fosters home fan]

Look who I found! http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r218/fosters6220/CRACKERS2.jpg

[koosie]

Well..if that isn't the best thing I've seen in a while! There will be rejoicing everywhere at the release of these inspiring images!

You know I'd become convinced that was Clumbsy diving into that mud there. Thank you!

[ptps]

I swear Crackers and Foofy Woogums from GWH are like the IF version of lost long twins. XD They're both pink, they're both tiny, and they both squeak and squirm and cry a lot when easily upset. AND they're both "super cute it's sickening". XD Damn, I need to draw both of them together someday.

And I never noticed Crackers appearing so many times in the show before; I always thought s/he was a one shot made for the Cheese gag in Mac Daddy. :D Thanks for the caps!

[pitbulllady]

Crackers, along with Red, are two of the IF's who make me wonder if only kids or families with kids can adopt from Foster's. Crackers just seems like one one of those little spoiled dogs that belongs on the lap of some doting little old lady, who'd think nothing of plunking down a few hundred dollars for a be-jeweled collar or a trip to some exclusing Beverly Hills pet groomer, though I can also see a little girl(the sort who'd beg for one of those toy dogs that you can brush and groom)wanting an IF like that. Red, I always thought would belong with another old lady who was really into flowers and gardening, who would be more than happy to have someone like him around, who appreciated her green thumb efforts and was willing to pitch in.

pitbulllady

Hey, if Crackers ever wants to come and sit on my lap and have me dote upon him, he's more than welcome to (just throwing my own stance into the gender debate, I'd always accepted Crackers as a male and I'd find it hard to dispel that notion from my head now, even if "his" gender ever was confirmed as feminin, just as it took me years to stop thinking of Nermal from "Garfield" as a female, despite the clear and unambiguous references to his masculinity). Right now I couldn't afford a jeweled collar or any kind of expensive grooming scheme but, as I'm sure my cats would be willing to attest, I can give fairly good belly massages.

Of course, I imagine I'd face fierce competition for ownership of Crackers from koosie...well, he can have the little darling on weekends. Every other weekend, that is. ;)

Maybe that would be fair. I hope you like your garden mysteriously filling up with statues and other tributes.

You know I'd never seen Crackers like that. Maybe I like that Crackers is so small and vulnerable you can't help feeling protective but I've also noticed Crackers has a really wicked little smile, especially as Tarantula pointed out when Eduardo does his crazy idiot push-bike stunt. Still if you think Crackers would like stuff, I'm sure a few hundred dollars isn't too much.

Now as a gardener myself, Red would be a great enthusiastic companion for me apart from the fact that too much of his surface area touches the ground. I have enough trouble myself crushing delicate little plants under my clumbsy large feet. A large bouncing cube may be even less welcome. Sorry Red, stick to being furniture.:'(

Back to Crackers though, I can't wait to see these new episodes to start Crackerswatch again. Dear old Crackers.

[FeDeReR]

cracker is cute! :P

[overactive_imagination]

I think I would like to adopt crackers. And for some reason I think Crackers is a guy, idk why though.

[Pawbah]

Are there any crackers icons? That would be sweet.

[The bloo]

You all remember crackers from "Big brother", Don't you?

He's the friend that bloo tried to adopt cheese with to that man, who wanted real cheese and crackers. He even looks like a cracker too

I don't really know if theres much info about him, since he only appeared in that one episode.

Discuss the character here

Whoa, wait, so Crackers showed up recently in Big Brother? Ugh, how the mighty must have fallen. :P

By "mighty" I'm referring to Crackers, of course, but I'm sure you didn't need that pointing out.

Yeah he's doing the reality TV show circuit to make ends meet, my inside sources tell me, next fall expect to see him on Survivor, The Apprentice (Wait until you see his boardroom confrontation with Donald Trump) Dancing with the Stars (That boy can cut a mean foxtrot.) and finally The Amazing Race (Where he pairs up with George Mucous and gets into a really sticky situation in San Palo Brazil.)

Lol! Well, it's good to know that Crackers is getting so actively around these days, even if most of that stuff is way beneath an imaginary friend of his considerable talents. Has nobody put him in touch with Martin Scorsese?

[koosie]

Wooot! (do people still say that?) I'd video every single moment of Crackers on TV no matter how lacklustre, tired or downright proletarian the show is. It would be like live pictures from pink heaven for me. As for the movies, we should think big. Is Cecil B DeMille still knocking around?

Hey I like this bit:


Discuss the character here

ok!

I'd like to see Crackers actually as Big Brother, a watching, benevolent face in every home and in all public places all day, every day. Maybe that should be Big Sister?

[Ub3rD4n]

Here's one for the Crackerswatch: Did you guys see him in Bloo Tube? I don't have screenshots, but he was there, trust me!

[Lynnie]

Yup, I saw him! I know a lot of people confuse him with the little kitty friend Gary from "Bloo Done It". Gary was in Bloo Tube too, playing the piano. But Crackers was there too!

Here's a screen grab of him! (http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/6/604-0124.jpg) :bloosmirk:

Thank you, Sparky! :terrsmile:

[koosie]

WoW! I can't wait to see that episode! Crackers is looking so good! Theres a couple more quality background characters there too. Cheers! Life is good to me sometimes.

[Shelltoon]

Here's a screen grab of him! (http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/6/604-0124.jpg) :bloosmirk:[/SIZE]
It's so nice to know that the Crackers fanbase is being recognized. I wish he could get another speaking role.

[Lynnie]

I picked this up the other day. It's a "Googleye" pen, and suppose to be of a dog, probably of the papillon breed. But the pink color and the shape of the ears made me think of Crackers. Other than the yellow snout, I thought it was a striking resemblance.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/CrackersPen.jpg

I think it's really cute. :)

Beautiful find Lynnie! I can only hope I'll find a similar one myself some day. Yes, I think Crackers looks a lot like a Papillon too.

[Shelltoon]

Yeah, I definitely see the resemblence! Great find Lynnie.

[Mac-a-lacka]

If it not for the yellow face and eyes, he'd look exactly like Crackers!:smed:

[koosie]

Brilliant Lynnie! It's great that it's pink. I don't suppose Papillon doggies are pink, are they? Nah...They're not. Are they?

Aw..what a cute doggy. Must be a sod for him or her when it rains.

So you'll think we'll need the DNA from this thing to make the Crackers Replica Hybrid Prototype, then? We still need a pink animal for the colour though...

How about a piggie? Or are they really just a deceptive shade of pale?

[koosie]

Oh I'm sure there's some very pink pigs out there. However making Crackers a Pig-Dog makes him sound like something from a rubbish WW2 movie. We also need something reasonably clever and something that skips in a really dear little way.

Yep, that's our baby right there. I see it took the camerman (woman?) a long time to locate him (her?).

I had a quokka glove puppet as a nipper (complete with cork-hat, which I discovered in 2004 no genuine Australians actually wear). That's one of the reasons why they've always held such a special place in my heart.

[koosie]

Aw! Did you bounce the Quokka glove puppet around from behind sofas etc?

I expect this animal is well suited to the clockwork format of toy, too.

Actually looking back on it, it's surprising to think that anyone would wear a cork hat. Surely those corks would be as annoying as any insect anyway? Maybe the bitey ones are a bit annoying but why would they be stopped by a preposterous hat anyway?

But seriously now, every day I spend without Crackers is just painful and lonely. I intend to make Crackers come alive with cutting-edge science or failing that, spirally further into insanity.

[jekylljuice]

Aw! Did you bounce the Quokka glove puppet around from behind sofas etc?

Yeah, something like that. I'm sure it was very darling to all spectators. Of course, though he was officially a quokka, he had a fairly generic animal design, and I did kind of wind up changing his species depending upon whatever critter I felt most postively inclined toward at the time. I'm pretty sure he got to be a mongoose, a weasel, an abnormally long-tailed prairie dog and a kangaroo rat, amongst other things, at various points throughout our partnership together.

But seriously now, every day I spend without Crackers is just painful and lonely. I intend to make Crackers come alive with cutting-edge science or failing that, spirally further into insanity.

Well, I guess failing all else you can always do what his original creator did - that is, imagine him and have him as your own imaginary companion. Or would that qualify for the spiralling further into insanity catagory?

[koosie]

Funnily enough it seems like the only sane thing I could possibly do. I suppose the only workable definition of insanity is what a couple of doctors say so as long as I stay away from doctors it's perfectly alright to believe Crackers is here. Trouble is Crackers came from someone elses imagination first. So my Imaginary Crackers would be like the Bloo clones who performed so magnificently in those Ice Charades. It's got to be science hasn't it? Hope I don't create a monster. Again.

[WestBunny:3]

I thought I was the only one who remembered crackers! One of my fave secondary characters!

[Jackie Khones]

ha, I remember one of the really early epps, i think the one where cheese coms....when it was like have cheese and get crackers for free!
and then crackers was sad cuz no one bought cheese or crackers. AWWW!

[Mew]

Crackers is awesome ^^.
Never really noticed the Papillon reference, until I realized that you /weren't/ on about the Papillons with abnormally huge ears XD.

I always thought Crackers was female, but, I've got his/her voice in my head.. I think he's male now, lol.

..Someone should make a shipping with Crackers.

[koosie]

...I've got his/her voice in my head..

Wow! You too? I can't believe the sorts of things Crackers wants me to do.

[Berry]

This is way off topic, but I have a hamster named Crackers!

[jekylljuice]

I kind of got over that whole "Crackers Watch" phenomenon a while ago (so 2007, people!) but for old times sake, and since I don't have an awful lot to do this morning, here's his appearence in "Read Em and Weep":

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/3303/vlcsnap73321.png

Not that any of you can have missed it. ;)

EDIT: Oh, I see that he's in "Bad Dare Day" too, but...meh. Let someone else screencap it, if they're really that desperate.

:)Wowser! What a delightful thing to come home to! Yeh, 2007 was obviously a fine vintage and it's rather divine to sip it one more time. Yet there's still so much I've missed, obviously. I've not seen those 2 eps yet. :)

Yeh, maybe there is someone desperate enough to screencap another glimpse, have a go anyway, for that one nostalgic, melancholy last look.

As for Crackers, perhaps he's left this galaxy for one less complicated. Sadly he's not left enough images of himself to enjoy so thank you very much indeed for this one. Perhaps I'll create some. :bloogrin:


...Or herself obviously. Like I care.

[Bloo4Ever]

Here comes the person who's that desperate enough 8D

I gots 4 in all and circled Crackers in each one. You ever notice that he's most of the time, all ways looking at Bloo...? :jk:

[koosie]

No apologies necessary, Bloo4Ever! If there's one thing better than nice pictures of little Crackers, it's nice big pictures of little Crackers. Thank yooou!

I suppose it's probably hard not to be looking at Bloo when you're in his presence.

[Bloo4Ever]

You're welcome :bloogrin:


I love image 1!; He takes bout 1/50 of the actual picture XD XD

By the way, was he in 'Fool and Regulations' or Goodbye to Bloo'? :blooconf:

I'd watch the eppies again but then I cant help but get teary-eyed :macwor:

Anyways, he shouldve at least been in Goodbye to Bloo as it is the finale and Crackers is like, the third best supporting charcter ever :P

[koosie]

I'm afraid I've not seen the episodes you mention. I will soon enough and I'll be constantly on the look out for small pink objects. Yes.

I'm not sure Crackers could even reasonably be called a supporting character. What constitutes a supporting character I wonder? I think Crackers is the all time world No. 1 incidental character maybe. There would be a pretty big drop-off after No. 1 too.

[jekylljuice]

I've got to wonder why people never made this much fuss over Gary, the teary-eyed kitten IF...well, I think he's cool. He has a quiet dignity to his sorrow which Crackers rather lacks, don't you think?

[koosie]

Did Gary never get a thread? If not then that is indeed a cause of regret.

I think Crackers did get black-balled when he tried to join the Fosters Stoicism club. He cried at that too.

[Bloo4Ever]

I've got to wonder why people never made this much fuss over Gary, the teary-eyed kitten IF...well, I think he's cool. He has a quiet dignity to his sorrow which Crackers rather lacks, don't you think?

I think its because Gary is somewhat of forgettable character. Now with the case of Crackers:

1) Interesting name. Unfortunately, Gary isn't.

2) Good debut. The whole Cheese episode, 'Mac Daddy' was one of the favorites, so was that jokes about Cheese and Crackers, making the moment less forgettable in our minds.

3) He cries a lot 8D Apparently, many of us are suckers for that :P

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.)

Your aforementioned point about the quiet dignity that Gary has makes more people feels sorry for him than of Crackers, however, I beieve it'
s the fact that Cracker's cries are more boisterous is the reason why we remember him more.

And he is so-called simply because it's what happened to fit into Uncle Pockets' rhyming scheme.

And That is correct, we can't really blame Gary for his name, but that is still a justifiable cause I think. Take Yogi Boo Boo for example. At the beginnning of the series, he never played a big character, but people grew to like him, and he was included more into the series by 2 aspects: His unique accent and his unique name. I could be wrong, although I'd like to think I'm not.

ANd you do have another valid point with throwaway gags, but in my perspective, the Cheese/Crackers gag had much more grandeur and epicness than the Mr. Pockets Rhyme/Gary gag.

Don''t get me wrong, I do like him, although I do not think I'd consider adopting him.

And if you ever do decide to adopt a certain Kip Snip, my friend Bloo would like to have a chance to play with him once again :blooevil: :P

[jekylljuice]

Fair enough points. I'll just concede that they're both great characters, and that I wouldn't mind seeing them go head to head in a battle of wits some time.

And if you ever do decide to adopt a certain Kip Snip, my friend Bloo would like to have a chance to play with him once again :blooevil: :P

Haha, cute proposition. Not sure if it's such a good idea to leave those two alone together, though. ;)

Now I come to think about it we don't really see Crackers or Gary crying that much at all. For Gary it's about half of all the time we see him and for Crackers it's possibly a bigger proportion of time though for most of the occassions we've seen Crackers he's actually looked quite content. We just caught them both at a bit of a low point those times.

You could say Gary had more to cry about. Uncle Pockets suddenly turns on a sixpence and it's actually quite shocking for poor Gary. However with Crackers we don't know how many times he's faced the situation of being mistaken for food. Maybe he dealt with it better all those other times and this time Crackers just cracked. Personally if I were Crackers I'd much rather live at Fosters than with Cheese and some slack-jawed yokel.

However when all is said and done, in that moment where Bloo summoned an imaginary friend called Crackers and this little pink thing came bouncing up my life got strangely better even if I'll never understand why.

[fosters home fan]

Crackers is cute looking and funny.

Is it just me, or, do it's eyes look a bit bigger in the final screencaps on the previous page?

[jekylljuice]

Actually, one thing which I'm surprised no one's mentioned about Crackers is the resemblance he bears to Calumon from Digimon Tamers:

Seriously, dip that thing in pink Dulux and what have you got?

[Bloo4Ever]

Oh my gosh, jekylljuice you're right O.O

Although, He's like a pink version of it that tends to cry a lot 8D

I could always tell that Crackers, along with Gary actually, reminded me of some Japanese made monsters (it was either Digimon or Pokemon with me) but couldn't relly say who.

[koosie]

You'd need to give it a tail too but otherwise....

Calumon eh? Someone told me on the chat once that Crackers was a rip-off of a neo-pet but this Calumon is pretty damn similar.

So is Calumon a boy or a girl pokemon? Or don't pokemon(s?) have a gender? I really know nothing about these creatures. Honestly, they totally got by me. I turned my back for a year or two and then they were everywhere and i still have no idea why or what they want. Can I obtain a Calumon? If so, how large?

[fosters home fan]

PokeMons come in either gender, really. Not sure about "Calumon".

I always thought Crackers was male, really.

That's always been my assumption, too.

Neither. Calumon is a digimon (believe me, there is a difference). And, interestingly, from what I can make out, the gender actually varied from translation to translation. In the English dub, Calumon was clearly identified as male, though I have heard rumours that in the Japanese original, "he" was a girl. The reverse kind of happened to Lopmon, who had an effeminate voice and for the most part spoke in gender-neutral terms, which allegedly caused the English translators to misidentify him as a female. A line from Renamon toward the end of the series seemed to imply that distinctions of gender were pretty meaningless in the digital world anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter, though the universal validity of that statement has been debated.

Oh, and Calumon does have a tail, though it isn't visible in that particular image. It's a little stump of a tail, but it's still there.

Yes! Someone who knows they DigiHistory! :D

I can't really add on to what JekyllJuice said, because she was pretty much spot on, although I could say (its a bit irrelevent to Crackers, but it matters with Digimon) gender was a lot more obvious in the first 2 seaosns, and had a bigger impact on the show I think. But that's pretty much it.

[GooGoo]

I love Crackers. :D
Crackers was one of the best characters.
