Keith is cracking up

I went to top up Keith and Mick's jam jars this morning - as they are living on top of the radiator, a bit does evaporate off. Their tops, which have dried off, have cracked a bit, so they don't have such smooth complexions as they once did. But horrors, I realised there was a massive crack running up around Keith's bottom.... crack, bottom... yes, anyway. Is this the end of Keith or is this the beginning of a root system?!?
