>So I figured the comic version was taking a slight at how effeminized and infantilized comic characters can be for kids. In an insulting manner.
orson had eyelashes because in the Garfield universe, cute/young characters have eyelashes (i.e. nermal, baby Garfield, etc.) and Orson was originally a young pig before they looney tunes’d the cast into ambiguous adults.

Also, the reason why US Acres exist is because Jim wanted to make a kid friendly strip after his son came to him reading the newspaper comics asking what a transvestite was. That’s why the “& Friends” part was morals and lessons because early on they wanted US Acres to be educational. But after the strip ended they realized no one liked the morals and lessons so they made them more looney tunes slapstick. That’s why in the early days of the comics they looked like children’s book characters and not comic strip characters.
