Mr. Arbuckle

Main article: Mr. Arbuckle

Mr. Arbuckle is Jon Arbuckle and Doc Boy Arbuckle's father who tends the family farm. Based on Jim Davis's own father, Mr Arbuckle is portrayed as the quiet, no-nonsense father type.

Mrs. Arbuckle

Based on Jim Davis' mother, Jon's mother is also known for sending him and Garfield cooked meals in packages.
