"Eat, eat, eat, eat."
- Her first quote.

Mrs. Arbuckle is Jon Arbuckle and Doc Boy Arbuckle's sweet, home-focused, bubbly mother, who lives on a farm. She is known to be a great cook and can create dozens of potato-based dishes. She offers a wide variety of food for Jon to eat when he visits. Based on Jim Davis' mother, Jon's mother sends him and Garfield cooked meals in packages. In the Garfield and Friends episode, "Feeling Feline," she has a speaking line along with Jon's father (who has no dialogue) in Jon's dream. She also appears in The Garfield Show.

Physical Appearance[]

She has short brown hair, and usually wears a blue and white dress with a pink and white apron and blue high heels.

Personality[]

Garfield has a mixed relation with her, as he loves her cooking but mostly despises the cat sweaters she knits him every holiday season ("mostly" as is one example he was won over by one sweater's particularly imposing-looking shoulderpads).

Roles[]

Her main role is being Jon and Doc Boy's mother, Grandpa Arbuckle and Grandma Arbuckle's daughter-in-law, and also the matriarch of the Arbuckle family.
