The Wattersons



The Wattersons are the main characters of the television series, The Amazing World of Gumball. They are the neighbors of the Robinsons. Despite being a tight-knit family, they are known to have very serious arguments at times (as shown in "The Responsible" and "The Flakers.")

Overview
The Watterson family are anthropomorphic animals, and are quite unusual; they consist of two rabbits, two cats, and a goldfish. Gumball and Nicole are both blue cats, while Anais and Richard are both pink rabbits. Darwin is a goldfish, and was originally the family pet, until he grew legs, gained the ability to speak, and became able to eat food other than fish flakes. Granny Jojo is Richard's mother, and Nicole's father was mentioned in "The End" and "The Man". Richard's father was mentioned as well in "The Man."

Trivia

 * The Wattersons invoke their facial expressions in an animesque style, such as sweat drops forming on their heads when distressed, tear and gruel, and countless other over-exaggerated expressions.
 * Ben Bocquelet chose this family name as a tribute to his hero, Bill Watterson, the creator of the famous newspaper comic Calvin and Hobbes.
 * Gumball inherited his mother's appearance, and a bit of his father's personality, whereas Anais inherited her father's appearance, and a bit of her mother's personality (as well as her fighting skills).
 * All of the members have the same face physique: a curved quadrilateral annexed with another small one on the bottom.
 * The Wattersons are revealed to be in critical financial standing, due to Richard spending all of their savings on a star, which apparently died.
 * Anais is the only known biological member of the family without whiskers.
 * The painted portrait of all of the members is also seen inside the Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe building in London, England.
 * The Wattersons consist of animals that would be kept as pets by humans, although Darwin and the Evil Turtle are the only members referred to as pets in the show.
 * Gumball is the only member in the family without visible eyelashes, as in many scenes they are shown for split seconds or for entire frames, but for the entirety of the show, they remain unseen.
 * Aside from the Robinsons, Gary is suggested to be their other next-door neighbor, when he is shown in his house in "The Allergy" (though, in an earlier occurrence, he is shown living across them).
