Jon's stupid dog, who likes standing in place and panting to no end.
First Appearance: August 8, 1978
Arlene
Some female cat who has a love/hate (mostly love) relationship with Garfield...even though they tend to insult each other. What was Jim Davis thinking?!
First Appearance: December 17, 1980

Various Parodies
