U.S. Acres (known as Orson's Farm outside the United States and as Orson's Place in Canada) is an American comic strip that originally ran from 1986 to 1989, created by Jim Davis, author of the comic strip Garfield. U.S. Acres was launched on March 3, 1986, in a then-unprecedented 505 newspapers by United Feature Syndicate. For most of the last year of the strip's existence, Brett Koth, who had been assisting Davis on Garfield at that time, was given co-creator's credit in the strip, and signed his name to the strips along with Davis. The strip was centered on a group of barnyard animals, with the main character being Orson, a small pig who had been taken from his mother shortly after being born. At the peak of the comic's popularity, there were children's books, plush animals (particularly of the characters Orson, Roy, Booker and Sheldon), and posters of the main characters. Shirts, mugs, mousepads, and keychains of the characters would later be available. An animated adaptation was included in the TV show Garfield and Friends, as a spin-off segment, and continued to be so for several years after the strip ended, which was even lampshaded in one of the final strips. The final daily strip was printed on April 15, 1989, while the final Sunday appeared on May 7, 1989. Most papers only ran the Sunday strip, usually in the same page as Garfield. The strip was relaunched as an online webcomic on October 1, 2010, and was announced the day before in a question and answer column in USA Today. Later, in celebration of the strip's twenty-fourth anniversary, the U.S. Acres strips prior to August 1, 1986 were released on Garfield.com. On August 7, 2016, a Garfield comic strip showed the U.S. Acres gang (sans Bo and Blue) in its logo box, featuring Garfield eating a bag of chicken feed. In August 2019, Jim Davis sold the rights to U.S. Acres to Paramount Global (formerly ViacomCBS) as part of its acquisition of Paws, Inc. In April 2020, the strip was removed from GoComics. On June 19, 2020, Garfield.com shut down, redirecting to Nickelodeon's website. As a result, the strip was removed as well as the webcomic being discontinued entirely. Garfield.com was later resurrected with a limited number of selected Garfield comics, but U.S. Acres is currently unavailable on the new website. Source: Wikipedia (en)
