Alternative Text: This comic humorously illustrates the concept of software development, particularly the idea of patching security vulnerabilities. The top panel shows a door labeled "xz" being patched up with planks of wood, symbolizing the closure of a backdoor vulnerability. In the bottom panel, while two characters celebrate the successful patching of the "xz" door, unbeknownst to them, another character casually walks through another open door nearby, suggesting that vulnerabilities may still exist elsewhere despite efforts to patch them.
