Overview

That's not right!
— Aloysius' catchphrase

Aloysius Pig is a recurring character in the final season of Garfield and Friends.

Physical appearance[]

Aloysius is a pink pig with an oval nose, curved ears, a light brown hat with a dark brown band, green-rimmed glasses with yellow lens, a blue bowtie, and a green vest. Height-wise, is shorter than Orson.

Personality[]

A stern and stressed-out busybody who bean-counts and nitpicks every detail, Aloysius looks for anything that he might consider to be the least bit objectionable or something he just dislikes. He is also critical of those who make any objections to his actions (such as Wade asking him why he was put in charge of the farm or Orson trying to explain a story to him). As a result, it comes to the annoyance of the rest of the cast. His catchphrase is "That's not right!" As a result, everybody on the farm plots to get rid of him.

Roles[]

Temp Trouble[]

Aloysius was hired as a replacement for Orson while he was away on vacation. In the episode, he gives demerits to the animals on the farm to keep order and make sure that they are not doing things he does not approve of. But because he does this over petty things, Roy and Wade decide to prank him into doing things that will make him quit, which backfire for different reasons until they call his mom to take him home.

The Discount of Monte Cristo[]

Aloysius is hired by the studio in this episode to keep the characters on budget. He raises complaints about, and later cuts out, anything that would be considered expensive, including musical numbers, building big sets, exquisite food, important scenes from the book, and hiring background characters. Persistently annoyed, Orson eventually stops the story when he states that it has been ruined. Orson, Roy, and Wade get back at him by making a version of Robinson Crusoe that cuts out all the crucial elements of the story, leaving him stranded on a desert island.

Kiddie Korner[]

Aloysius works for The Network, and is upset that the others are not doing anything wholesome or educational, so he wants them to do nursery rhymes. Much to the dismay of Orson and his friends, he discovers that even something seemingly innocent has inappropriate content, from running around in pajamas to the word "tuffet” (which Roy clarifies is a type of pillow). They make up their own nursery rhyme, which is about Aloysius getting pelted with cream pies.
