Appearance
Jerry is clearly the tallest (except in the pilot episode, where Josh is the tallest) and thinnest member of the Eltingville Club. He has fine, somewhat unkempt 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 variations exist (such as in the comic "Bring Me The Head Of Boba Fett"). A notable detail is that Jerry's eyes are usually drawn closed or as simple slits, although there are exceptions in some panels of the comic.

In the epilogue, Jerry is shown as an adult with longer hair and a short beard. He is also seen wearing a sports jacket.

Personality
Jerry is unique compared to his peers: he is described as having a docile and mild temperament. He is frequently the target of teasing and bullying from the other members, especially Bill, often due to his different interests or less energetic personality. Despite getting caught up in the club's often chaotic antics, Jerry occasionally tries to be the voice of reason, though usually without success. Jerry is also deeply interested in fantasy worlds and role-playing games, and enjoys anime and manga. [1]

Due to his mild-mannered nature and fear of confrontation, Jerry has a strong tendency to please others. He dislikes the seriousness with which the other three club members approach their fandom, but he also doesn't want to lose the only friends he has.

Trivia
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 platonic loves.
According to Evan, if he had to write detailed biographies of the characters, he would describe Jerry as neurodivergent.
His musical taste includes video game soundtracks, 8-bit/chiptune music, progressive rock, and J-pop; in addition, Evan Dorkin has mentioned that Jerry likes Vocaloid songs (and that he 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 "delicate 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 a romantic couple, but if the comic had continued, who knows.

Personality: He is by far the calmest and least harmful member of the quartet. He is often clumsy and awkward, though he is the most socially adept. He is considered the most wholesome of the group, and it is said that he has a habit of imitating Twiki and appears to be a pacifist.

Interests/Specialty: His specialty is role-playing games (RPGs) such as Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer 40k, and Magic: The Gathering. He is the group's Dungeon Master.

Appearance/Clothing: He is of average height and weight and has blond hair. His real name is mentioned as "Jerome" in one source and "Gerald" in another. His eyes are half-closed, but when he opens them fully they appear light blue.
