He bears a slight resemblance to Clint Clobber, one of Gene Deitch's original characters who appeared in Terry Toons shorts from 1957 to 1959.
He is, by far, the most evil of all Tom's owners, as well as only owner who is actually a villain. Down and Outing is the only short where Tom tries to escape from him in order to avoid getting pummeled. Also, Sorry Safari is the only short where he gets his comeuppance at the end (as well as only short where he never ties Tom up in order to keep him out of trouble). He played three different roles in all shorts he appeared in: a fisherman in Down and Outing, a chef in High Steaks, and a hunter in Sorry Safari. He never interacts with Jerry Mouse in any of his 3 appearances. He is presumably unaware of the mouse Jerry's existence as the two never act in. He was since replaced by a thin female owner on Buddies Thicker Than Water (1962). Gene Deitch decided to permanently eliminate the character after Sorry Safari. He was very unpopular among many fans of the series, as he was shown to be extremely brutal and violent towards Tom for his actions, sometimes bordering on a type of abuse called animal abuse/cruelty. He has no lines of spoken dialogue in High Steaks while he speaks only once in Down and Outing and he has two lines of dialogue in Sorry Safari. Unlike Tom's previous owners, he speaks quite rarely. In Sorry Safari (1962), his punishments are wrapping a shotgun around Tom's head and then firing it, slamming Tom with a coffee mug after a lion tried to kill the owner while he used the mug to defend himself instead of a shotgun, and his final punishment was slamming Tom's fingers against a lunchbox and causing Tom's fingers to look like piano keys. In High Steaks (1962), his punishments are that he seared Tom's face with a meat searer, slammed a tennis racket on his head, forcing Tom to drink an entire bottle of carbonated soda, and viciously beat Tom after knocking down his steaks (and him) to then tie him up to a chair to keep Tom out of trouble. In Down and Outing (1961), his punishments towards Tom were stomping on his hand and let it graphically swell, viciously beat Tom twice for slamming his shoe with and oar and by pulling him into the water with a fishing rod, which caused the owner to beat Tom and tie him up to a bucket. He also throws a fit and viciously pummels Tom when only one of his many steaks gets slightly damp. #Tom and jerry episodes jerry as the antagonist full#
He appears gluttonous as he has a giant barbecue with many plates full of steak only for himself in High Steaks (given his overweight appearance). He often sings a tunes for himself when he is calm, happy, and enthusiastic. However, when he doesn't have problems, he acts like a normal person and looks happily.

He appears to have rage issues in general as in Down and Outing, he is shown driving recklessly by driving at high speeds and not looking at the road, then yelling at another driver when called out for his careless driving. He often smiles or laughs maliciously after punishing Tom. He also often ties Tom up very tightly in order to keep him out of trouble.
He never reprimands Tom for his actions but always hurts him right away. Tom's owner is much more brutal and violent in punishing Tom's actions when compared to Tom's previous owners: beating, pummeling and thrashing Tom repeatedly, screaming at him, stomping on his hand and causing it to swell, searing his head with a grill, forcing him to drink an entire carbonated beverage, slamming his fingers with a lunchbox lid and even wrapping a shotgun over his head and then firing it.
His face also turns bright red when he is even more angry at Tom. Also, when he is angered, his teeth often become pointed and sharp. Tom's owner is an overweight, average height, middle-aged, bald white man with very severe temper problems, often going red in the head when furious.
