* AdaptationalJerkass: The worst the original Jeffy was in ''Family Circus'' was that he was a troublemaker. The Jeffy in ''PBS'' on the other hand is a violent, short-tempered prude who is willing to betray even Zebra to get out of a bad situation.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Despite his innocent appearance, he is a raging alcoholic and all around jerk.
-> "So I'm battling a few demons.
* ButtMonkey: Along with the rest of the comic, he is the target of parody, violence, and even being kidnapped by the Crocs.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rat is an asshole, no question, but his anger is occasionally directed at the rude behavior of others and his misanthropy is largely the result of being subjected to hundreds of little annoyances. When the mood strikes him, he's even capable of being nice to Pig, mainly by keeping him from harsh truths. It's also implied that his cynicism is partly due to Farina breaking up with him, as he wasn't nearly as bad before that.

He's also not immune to random acts of kindness, such as treating a homeless man to a spaghetti dinner after thinking about how he himself could end up in those circumstances.

to:
* {{Foil}}: To Rat. Pig's idealistic view on life contrasts with Rat's very cynical view. Both of them are [[ManChild manchildren]], but while Rat is bratty and aggressive, Pig is kind and innocent.
* CannotTellAJoke: The other characters reacted with visible dread when Goat was [[ItMakesSenseInContext the only character who wasn't in prison]], and thus the one who had to carry the humor of the strip. When the best he could do was a weak pun about reading [[Creator/{{Shakespeare}} the bard]] in a bar, Guard Duck offered to take him out.

to:
* WritersSuckWritersSuck: Pastis is portrayed as a fat loser who delights in [[IncrediblyLamePun awful puns]], and gets no respect from the other characters — even [[NiceGuy Pig and Zebra]] won't hesitate to insult him to his face.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Some early strips showed him to be surprisingly dishonest and underhanded, such as when he tried to make money by ripping off one of Rat's ideas for a toy. This side of him disappeared very quickly into the run of the comic.
