| Garfield is a yellow tabby with stripes. He is a cynical, lazy,
lasagna addict that hates mondays,diets, and excercising, loves dog punting,
and has an
incredible passion for food that is only matched by his passion for sleep. |
|
|
Self proclaimed "Worlds Cutest Kitten", Nermal often shows off his cuteness while taunting Garfield about his looks and old age. Nermal belongs to Jon's parents and frequently comes to visit the Arbuckle home. |
|
| Odie is a mixed breed. His mother was a Beagle and his father
was a brick. Odie seems to have inherited more traits from the brick
than the Beagle. He always
slobbers, is always happy, but he never thinks. Don't worry, his breath is worse than his bark. |
|
| Jon is the(dorky) owner of both Garfield and Odie. Decent but
dull, and unable to find a date that is willing to go out with him for
more than 1/2 hour, Jon provides
food, shelter, and love while his two pets provide the laughs. |
|
| Arlene is the gap-toothed, female cat most likely to share dinner (and
insults) with Garfield. They have a love-hate relationship: Garfield loves
himself and Arlene
hates that. |
|
| Though different mailmen have appeared in earlier Garfield comic strips,
this particular character has been the Arbuckle postman since 1984. He
has faithfully
completed his rounds despite rain, snow, dark of night and maulings by one fat, ferocious cat. |
|
| As a farmer, Jon's dad is outstanding in his field. He's
a down-to-earth guy (literally), who tends to the Arbuckle farm with the
help of his family. Jon visits his folks
regularly. This annoys Garfield, whose favorite farm activities are eating and leaving. |
|
| Jon's mom is a loving, hardworking farm wife who's very proud of her
husband and sons. She's a wonderful cook who believes strongly in quality
and quantity. As
she sees it, the two most important food groups are potatoes and pies. |
|
| Dr. Liz Wilson is Garfield's veterinarian. She treats Garfield like
a patient and Jon like the plague. Liz does occasionally date Jon, but
the romance hasn't clicked,
primarily because Jon is afflicted with terminal geekitis. |
|
| Found in a dresser drawer and adopted by Garfield, Pooky is a teddy
bear extraordinaire: lovable, huggable, and always there when Garfield
needs him. Garfield
shares his deepest thoughts(and his deepest sleeps) with his fuzzy friend.
|
|
| Jon's only sibling, Doc Boy lives on the Arbuckle farm with his parents.
Like his city-slicker brother, Doc Boy leads a pretty boring life. But
at least he only has to
feed the hogs. Jon has to feed Garfield. |
