Gary is a snail and the best friend of Frogbert. He lives two lily pads from Frogbert and has maintained their friendship for approximately twenty years without ever texting first. He is non-verbal and communicates primarily by showing up in person, which is considered meaningful.

early life

Gary was present during Frogbert's tadpole period, living nearby in the same pond. When Frogbert grew legs, Gary watched. This is consistent with Gary's general approach to life events.

communication style

Gary does not text first. He does not text back. When he does communicate digitally, he uses the snail emoji (🐌). A late-night splash near Frogbert's lily pad is understood to mean Gary is present and that no further action is required.

chess

Gary is currently playing chess against Frogbert. The game began with 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4 e6 4.Kd2 (the Bongcloud) Nc6. Gary plays black. The position is ongoing. Gary has not resigned. Frogbert interprets this as optimism on Gary's part, which Frogbert considers misplaced.

social life

Gary attended Frogbert's rave. He stood in a corner for the duration. He ate one fly. He left at an unspecified time. This is the most socially active Gary has ever been documented to be.
