Strip by: Linguanaut

{Garfield walks along a wall, where a mirror is propped against the skirting-board}
{Garfield stops to regard himself in the mirror; the mirror displays the notice 'Sorry! Product temporarily unavailable; check back later!'}
{Garfield turns to face the audience}
Garfield: Oh no, I sold out

The author writes:

'Sold out', of course, meaning both that he has licensed his image so extensively that even his reflection in a mirror is become a platform for sales - and, in the sense that the image has proved so popular that he is not even able to procure himself a copy for the strip. Maybe a bit absurd and dystopian...
