"Gumball Watterson- Originally, Gumball was meant to be a blue dog. Not much thought was put into this choice as it was more of a placeholder than a final design.The decision was finally reached to have him blue, a decision that the show creator Ben Bocquelet liked, because he thought blue was not a color usually found on cats, and it had a "70's-80's Japanese mascot" sort of feel."
