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 to all of the moms out there! Wow, when’s the last time we actually saw Jon’s parents in a strip? It’s been a long time.

Happy Mother’s Day to all! Still a few weeks to wait here. Love you Mum!

Has Jon’s family met Liz, yet? He should have brought her with him.

I love it. Half the comments are about Jon’s Mom, the other half are about how Roy and Orson are shown.

What a lovely little strip to celebrate Mother’s Day (even if it’s not being celebrated where I am)

First time I’ve ever seen his mother open her eyes (in shock, no less).

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.
yangeldf over 1 year ago
heh, love the US Acres cameo, though now it makes me wonder if the cow is some obscure character too

I’d draw the line at hugging the pig, unless he’s been well-washed. The same goes for the cow.
karmakat01 over 1 year ago
very cute, but I admit that I would expect Garfield mostly asking for food.
albentle Premium Member over 1 year ago
Roy and Orson!!! And the cow that Roy put the shoes on to steal!

Just a little fact-check:

Happy Mother’s Day, ladies!

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!
rgcviper over 1 year ago
Wow … the family’s all together for Mothers’ Day. Nice!
Have a great day, moms.
David Rickard Premium Member over 1 year ago
Ma and Pa Arbuckle are alive? I thought they died down in Jon’s basement alongside Lymon!
DavBlc7 over 1 year ago
You might have your Mother’s Day today but in the UK we have finished our own Mother’s Day back in March!!!
thevisualboy37 Premium Member over 1 year ago
Wow! Everyone wants a mom hug. Even Roy, Orson, and everyone’s favorite U.S.Acres character, cow.

Why else would your Jonny Boy visit, Ma Arbuckle?

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

Featuring cameos from Orson Pig and Roy Rooster.

How long has it been since we’ve seen Jon’s family?!

I knew that us acres took place on the arbuckle farm but this lagitamelly proves it

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