Explanation[edit | edit source]

In the original, Jon was taking a bath, and Garfield was telling Jon that Stretch needed a bath as well. Odie joined in, then the mailman wanted Jon to sign for the package, and finally the paperboy threw the paper at Jon. Jon then screamed out to the world that he was taking a bath and Hubert thinks he was joking as Reba heard Jon's scream.

The author edited it to make this strip a multilingual strip, with each line in a different language. Based on an analysis via both Bing Translator and Google Translate, possible language identities for each line are as follows:

  • Jon's first line: Arabic
  • Garfield's line: Bosnian (Bing) or Croatian (Google)
  • The mailman's line: Malay
  • The paperboy's line: Portuguese (implied Brazilian dialect by Bing; Google doesn't differentiate between Brazilian and European dialects)
  • Jon's second line: Afrikaans
  • Reba's line: Russian
  • Hubert's line (mistakenly named "Hurbert"): Haitian Creole
