Explanation[edit | edit source]

The author writes:[edit | edit source]

This is a sequel to #313 by Wes White. It has been a few years since we last checked on the mid-point of the strip's run, so here it is.

As of the time this has been submitted (2013-09-10), there have been 12,868 Garfield strips produced so far. And that number will continue to grow in the foreseeable future...

As a bonus, I've determined the mid-point of Garfield's companion comic, U.S. Acres, which only had 1,144 strips in comparison. And since that strip has already reached its end, its own mid-point can no longer shift.

Garfield: Shortly before discovering the lawsuit!

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The links to the original U.S. Acres strips used for the supplementary strip no longer work as intended due to the garfield.com takedown from June 2020; they have been archived on the Garfield wiki on Fandom as follows: 1986-03-03, 1987-09-25, 1989-05-07.
