teddy bear. Garfield's
best friend. Enjoys Garfield's company and dryers. Dislikes washing machines and sewing kits.

mustache, and more manly. He was Jon's

Liz - Tall, slim
veterenarian. Frequently
propositioned by Jon, and rarely accepting.
Sarcastic, and professional at the same time. Memorable quote: "Jon, you just propositioned my coat rack..."
Binky the Clown - Probably
Krusty's predecessor. Insane sounding clown in charge of children's programming. Memorable quote: "HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY KIIIIIIIIDDDDDSS!"
Jon's Parents - Your typical mother and father from the
farm. The mother is loving, yet slightly
airheaded. And the father is
old-fashioned and
stern. Both are constantly amazed with city life, and "
newfangled contraptions". Memorable mother quote: "Would you like scalloped, whipped, fried, baked, or boiled potatoes?" Memorable father quote: "Cut the chit-chat, my tractor's
double-parked..."
Garfield's mother - Garfield's most influential family member. His mother is a
stray, and he hardly sees her. But when they do meet, she showers him with the love that she can rarely give...
Jon's Brother, Doc Boy - Your typical uneducated
redneck. About the only thing that he's got is a
sibling rivalry with Jon.
