The author writes:

When I first read the original strip as a kid, I didn't immediately get that the "code" Garfield was talking about was actually a stuffed-up way of saying "cold". With that in mind, why not make Garfield "come down" with an ACTUAL code (Wingdings in this case)? You can even try to solve it like a cryptogram!... or you can cheat and look up the original text.
