Tom Griffin

Tom Griffin is an accoutant by trade, the husband of Linda Griffin, and father of Sandi, Chris and Sam Griffin.

Character Overview

Tom has a very short screen time, only making a very brief appearance in the season 2 episode "Fair Enough" where he's a feeble individual (he then disappears after chasing after his sons). He knows the Morgendorffers and they know him.

He appears in a family portrait in The Daria Database, along with his age and profession (he's a CPA by then), and his recurring questions about whether he should have married "plain Patty Wells" instead. "She was always so happy to see me and such a good sport. Still, there was that mole..."
