Explanation[edit | edit source]

While this strip makes yet another pun in "Garfield Minus Garfield", it eschews the usual choice of 2001-11-28 as its original strip in favor of one related to the pun. The original panel had the computer telling Jon he has no mail; here, it's an example of the screen a user might see when he starts a computer with the UNIX-like operating system MINIX.

The author writes[edit | edit source]

Minix is frequently misspelled Minux (influenced, no doubt, by the OS it is usually mentioned in reference to, Linux). Thus, this strip.

Original strip: 1996-10-12.

Transcript[edit | edit source]

Jon: Time to check the old mailbag, Garfield.
{Minix boot screen comes up}
Computer: *BEEP* You also have no life.
Garfield: Et tu, Cyberspace?
