He works as the Fantasy and Role-Playing Game Secretary for the Eltingville Club and frequently assumes the crucial role of Dungeon Master (DM) for the group in their tabletop role-playing games.

Jerry is clearly the tallest (except in the pilot, where Josh is the tallest) and lankiest member of the Eltingville Club. He has fine, somewhat shaggy blond hair, styled similarly to Bill Dickey's. His usual attire throughout the series consists of a green striped long-sleeved sweater and jeans, although there are variations (such as in the comic "Bring Me The Head Of Boba Fett"). Notably, Jerry's eyes are usually closed or as simple slits, although there are exceptions in some panels of the comic.

Jerry is unique compared to his peers: he is depicted as having a docile and affable demeanor. He is frequently the target of bullying and ridicule by the other members, especially Bill, often due to his different interests or less energetic personality. Despite becoming embroiled in the club's often chaotic antics, Jerry occasionally attempts to be the voice of reason, though usually unsuccessfully. Jerry is also deeply interested in fantasy worlds and role-playing games, and also has an interest in anime and manga. [ 1 ]

Due to his affable nature and fear of confrontation, Jerry displays a tendency to please others. He dislikes the way the other three club members take fanaticism seriously, but he also doesn't want to lose his only friends.

Although his real name is said to be Jerome, his mother refers to him in This Fan, This Monster as Gerald. It is said that she has numerous fictional lovers. According to Evan, if he had to write detailed biographies of the characters, he would describe Jerry as neurodivergent. His musical tastes include video game soundtracks, 8-bit/chiptune music, progressive rock, J-pop, and Evan Dorkin has also mentioned that Jerry likes Vocaloid songs (and is in love with Megurine Luka). [2] In some panels of the comic, Jerry is shown to be ambidextrous; it is unknown whether this was intentional or simply an inconsistency on Evan's part. According to Evan, Jerry has "elf feet" and "soft bones." Dorkin also speculated that if any member of the club were to become interested in the furry fandom, it would probably be Jerry. He also indicated that Jerry would like Sonic the Hedgehog. [3] According to Evan, he never saw Jerry and Bill as romantic, but if the comic continues, who knows.
