Strip by: Sir Bacon

{Garfield walks in with a yellow shield icon on his chest}
Jon: {reading} "Updates are available for your computer."
Jon: That had better be a temporary tattoo!

The author writes:

I hate to do a joke based on an operating system because it means a significant amount of the audience won't get it. For that matter, I'm not sure if this icon or its message were changed in Vista/7 or not, so this joke may be even more obscure than I had originally thought.
