It must be nice to have had a hugging mom. Mine didn’t care for giving hugs. Her usual contact was at the end of a paddle, or shoe over my bottom. She did hug me once. I was returning home after being away for 7 months. She gave me the most bodacious hug ever. I was shocked. And, ever so pleased. Mom…I remember you well.
I remember a couple days after my mom passed away I saw my buddy’s mom at a fest, and she was telling me how bad she felt for me and gave me a mom hug tha I’ll never forget. Thanks, mrs. C
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Another angle to consider: Not all moms are good moms. Some kids (little and big) only feel a lot of hurt on mother’s day when all they see are messages about a family situation that just doesn’t apply to them. So while I will be wishing a sincere happy mother’s day to many people today (my own mom included!), I think it’s important to keep in mind that this day – and its counterpart in june – are not universally happy days for everyone in our lives.

Happy Mother’s Day, everybody! It’s really nice to see that Jon cares about his mother, and also cool to see Orson and Roy return.

I’d draw the line at hugging the pig, unless he’s been well-washed. The same goes for the cow.

very cute, but I admit that I would expect Garfield mostly asking for food.

Holy crap, the Arbuckle family is all here (except Grandma; where is she? Or Aunt Gussie, where is she?)
And is that Roy and Orson I see?
This is one of the best Sunday Garfield strips in awhile!
Now let’s see if Jon goes back in June to celebrate Father’s Day!

It’s odd . . . this strip runs in the local newspaper, but today’s strip was not this one about Mother’s Day.

I like how they remember that U.S. Acres existed and brought two of it’s main characters back.
