Garfield by Jim Davis for August 24, 2021

Is Garfield trying to learn, squeak-Latin ?

“Squeak squeak squeak!” That’s “Mouse” for, “This is funny!”

Anyone remember the CGI film Chicken Little where the schoolchildren have a sheep language class?

And I have to brush up on Spanish

I see neither a brush nor a computer mouse!

Knowing where the table of an aunt is very important in the mouse world!!

Learning a new language eh Garfield?!

Where’s Brian ? Brian’s in the kitchen…

Jon’s gotta learn, that he not just only has to live with Garfield, but the mice as well.

At least Garfield’s doing everthing he can to learn their language, so maybe Jon doesn’t have to put up with the mice.

Garfield’s using a mouse, with his laptop.

Instead of Rosetta Stone language learning software, Garfield’s trying Ricotta Stone

“My hovercraft is full of eels.”

Je me demande, y a-t-il quelque chose qui s’appelle une « souris française ?

yep, got to make sure to keep speaking (or squeaking) on their level…

Seems similar to squirrel. Maybe Kronk could help him.

Reminds me of this:- https://montycasinos.com/montypython/scripts/phrasebk.php.html

And now, how to say omelette du fromage in mouse…

More like Mesoamerican Squirrel, to me.

“I’M BRUSHING UP ON MY MOUSE”

(senses dialogue that could be interpreted in several ways)

There’s a phrase we should all know. Here is the table of my aunt. That would have helped when I was stationed in Spain. Instead I learned “Dos Cruzcampos, por favor.”

What? No mention of the Junior Chipmunks from “The Emperor’s New Groove” and its sequel and spin-off series?

Best always to know the language of your enemy, or your next meal….

Aqui es la mesa de mi tia. There are more common sentences, Spanish or mouse.

“Brushing up on my mouse” reminds me of the early days of computers in our office, when IT issued a memo instructing us all to wash our mouse balls regularly.

with all the mice in the house…better be ready, yeah.

flashing back to Emperor’s New Groove.

Definitely a very useful phrase to know. That’s the first thing I try to learn when I’m going to visit a foreign country….

La plume de ma tante est sur le bureau de mon oncle!

Referencing elementary French language instruction? Deep.

Referencing elementary French language instruction? Mon Dieu. Sacre’ bleu.

Why am I thinking of the Monty Python mouse organ sketch?

Hahahahaha!
