Everyone, meet Paulie "Crackers" McCaw, my newest character!
He's a red parrot inspired by the gangsters of New York from the 1930s, specifically the gangsters in the film Oscar from 1991.
A little backstory:
Crackers was a huge cartoon superstar from the 1930s all the way to the late 1960s.
Unfortunately, due to the sensitivity of smoking hazards and gun violence, the producers removed his cigar and replaced it with a lollipop, and swapped his gun with a water pistol.
He wasn't too happy about that.
