Neighbor J. Jones is a fictional character created by Carl Barks[1] for the Walt Disney Company. He is Donald Duck's next door neighbor. He is portrayed as being as short-tempered as Donald, and more truculent. The yard between their respective homes often becomes a battlefield.

The character first appeared in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories #34 (in 1943). There and in later issues, he tended to appear in stories featuring Donald Duck. Neighbor Jones was the first of many recurring characters that Carl Barks created.[1]

In some Italian stories he is replaced by a similar character named "Anacleto Mitraglia", more tall and narrow, but with a similar personality and the same rivalry with Donald.
