General Information[]
Jerry commonly appears in one-off jokes with Tiger and Marvin parodying the comic Garfield. However he has been shown outside of one-offs, and appears to care for his pets, as shown when Zach ran away.
There are many ways in which Rick Griffin has made Jerry resemble the human Jon Arbuckle from Garfield. Both first names start with J, both have brown hair and light skin and wear a light blue shirt. Interesting to note, though, is the wordplay on the surname: Ar-buckle and Ar-belt, the buckle being the metal part of the belt that fastens it.
