Jim Davis running ‘U.S. Acres’ on Garfield.com

1 minute 10 comments

In a USA Today interview, Jim Davis mentioned that his short run comic U.S Acres is now running on Garfield.com. U.S. Acres ran from March of 1986 through May of 1989 and features a group of barnyard animals. An animated TV show Garfield and Friends was based on characters from U.S. Acres.

Looking through the online archive, it appears that the feature began to be posted online on August 1.

  1. I loved U.S. Acres when I was a kid.

  2. Ditto, Lucas! Though up here in Canada, the strip was called “Orson’s Farm.”

    Go figure 🙂

  3. Mike, it was called Orson’s farm here in the UK too. I have some US reprint books with the US Acres name on them…personaly I think as the name Orson, conjures up the pun Orse’n’Cart that the Orson’s farm title was a stronger one….just funnier in a way, that’s all.

  4. That website is unnavigable. You can barely find the comic on it.

    What a wasted opportunity.

    I smell a PvP blog post coming.

  5. @Scott You can smell through time now? What did you do to develop that power? Snort a thousand Sinex then getting struck by lightning at midnight on a full moon?

  6. I’d say it’s more distracting than unnavigable.

  7. What a kick to see these again! Egad…am I really that old?

  8. Forget U.S. Acres. I wanna see Mr. Potato Head!

  9. The strip gets really funny as time goes by.

    The animated version got funnier too when they decided to scrap the musical aspect of it.

  10. There’s really too much going on on that site. A lot of clutter and no real color theme.
