Americans = Jon Arbuckle?

The offices at work are all cubiucles - no one has a "personal" office. All of P&G has gone to cubicles for some time now. However, there is a lack of "huddle rooms" in the office at Guangzhou. Many people hog the huddle rooms for any conference calls they are on - and there is a serious shortage of the huddle rooms availability throughout the week.

The site facility owners have determined that a key root cause for the shortage is that many people are using it by themselves for their call; they will tie up a room for just one person. They want to discourage this behavior - so politce notices have been appearing in each room.

Here is the notice. I always get a kick out of the illustration of the guys - it looks like they found a copy of "Garfield" and think that all Americans look like Garfield's owner. The only way you can tell the characters apart is by the color of their shirt.

I love the first panel - what exactly is the guy in green looking at?
