Not to be confused with Nermal's cousin, Ivy.

Aunt Ivy is the aunt of Jon Arbuckle, Ichabod, George, Doc Boy Arbuckle, Marian, Lucretia and Tabitha.

Physical appearance[]

Aunt Ivy has red/orange hair, purple sunglasses and wears a pink track jacket with pink track sweatpants.

Personality[]

A mean, fat, ugly, rude and bossy old woman, Aunt Ivy seems to delight on making people wait on her hand and foot. She is shown to make constant unreasonable demands of Jon and treats him like a servant, yet denies his most reasonable requests. (i.e. getting out of the bathroom after two hours so that he can use it). She also has a strong dislike for animals as she believes they are full of germs and disease. She is even immune to Nermal's charm. She did find Spumoni (while disguised as a cat) adorable. She also got over her fear of mice. While Garfield despises her as much as anyone, he likes having her around. Apparently, it makes the other characters feel more appreciative of him ("Compared to [Aunt Ivy] I actually seem easy to live with").

Despite being cruel and abusive towards her nephews (and to an extent, her other relatives), Aunt Ivy does show love and affection to Aunt Esther, Drusilla, Minerva, Lucretia, and Tabitha

Trivia[]

  • She has (or at least had) an intense fear of mice.
  • Despite being Drusilla and Minerva’s mother, it is never explained if she has or ever had a partner.
  • She is scared of bunny slippers.
  • She is similar to Jon's Uncle Ed, in that she mooches off of Jon. Ed in comparison is much more bearable than Ivy; her despicable ways lead to Jon tiring of her in one day, as opposed to months. She is also similar to Aunt Prunella as both of them are abusive to Jon and both have a fear of mice (in Ivy's case, she eventually got over it).
  • In France, she is known as "Aunt Sylvie".
  • Based on a comment said by Drusilla in "Penny Henny" Aunt Ivy says that children insist on immediate gratification due to their short attention spans.
  • It is unknown if she has a last name since her middle name is Arbuckle.
