Overview

Aloysius Pig is a busybody pig in 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

Aloysius bean-counts and nitpicks every detail, looking for anything that he might consider to be the least bit objectionable or cutting out anything that would be slightly considered over the show's budget or for something he just dislikes. He is also critical at 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). This 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 aren't doing things he doesn't 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, cutting out anything that would be considered expensive, including musical numbers, building big sets and hiring additional actors, which annoys Orson.

Kiddie Korner

This time, 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. But much to the dismay of Orson and his friends, he finds out that even something so innocent has inappropriate content, from running around in pajamas and even criticizes the word "tuffet” (even though Roy explains to him it is just a pillow).

Appearances

Season 7
