What exactly does the color orange of a character got to do with being popular?? And who doesn’t love a cast of wacky characters?? Brings more zing. I think it has more to do with Garfield being more for everybody, while U.S.Acres was meant just for kids, which sadly didn’t work out. Didn’t help, that the farm animals’ in the cartoon were more likable than their comic strip counterparts.
I can’t reply so I’ll type here.And I have a headache from today’s official strip too. They just messed up the final scene for this Christmas arc! For those, that don’t know I’m talking about, wait for this Christmas day strip, or go to the website and click on the 1988 one.
