Cannery Row/YMMV

Cannery Row features examples of:

 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Doc reading the poem. Everyone is moved.
 * The boys at the Palace Flophouse taking care of the puppy.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: "He's got a can up there."
 * Not to mention Mack and the boys, drunk off of their asses, catching some surprised frogs in the frog pond.
 * Doc ordering a beer milkshake, and then lying about why.
 * Tear Jerker: Frankie's story.
 * Along with the first party, Mack's apology, the second party, and pretty much the whole book.
