Strip by: Wibi

Jon: The computer has a virus!
Jon: Now it crashed!
Jon: Now it's packing to leave!
Garfield: Jon doesn't do well with technology

The author writes:

In an inverse situation to #676, the original strip here actually placed Garfield on the left and Jon on the right and is hindered for it. Garfield's punchline of "Jon doesn't do well with technology" is funnier preceded by the revelation that Jon's computer is now physically leaving, as it becomes an understatement informed by the ridiculous events that have consecutively unfolded, rather than a simple assessment of Jon's technological literacy followed by something wacky occurring as an aside.

Anyway, this was going to be a simple edit, but then I realized I needed to push Jon's speech bubble in the third panel up. One thing led to another, and now I'm fleeing the country with a solid gold statue of Jon under pursuit of Paws, Inc. Please consider donating to my Ko-fi in these trying times.

Original strip: 2012-04-24.
