GARFIELD AND ODIE’S OWNER

Garfield and Odie's owner. His birthday is July 28, 1951, the same date as Jim Davis', but six years later.

He has poor social skills, despite being a nice and patient guy, and his attempts at dating have usually failed, (in more modern issues, he has been getting lots of dates from Liz) but Garfield is happy as long as Jon keeps him fed.
He has a taste in bizarre attire and has several dull hobbies, including talking to his plants, stamp collecting, measuring the growth of his toenails, and organizing his clothes. Basically, Jon was raised as a geek. Not entirely his fault, you discover, when he visits his family or reminisces about 'life on the farm'.

His mother often refers to him as Jonny, and his full name was revealed on December 6, 2001 to be Jonathan Q. Arbuckle, but he usually just goes as Jon. Jim Davis got this name from an old coffee commercial. He thought the name fit the poor sap who would be stuck with a cranky feline with an overactive appetite.
