Strip by: Evil Duolingo Owl

{Garfield looks at Liz, and speaks to Odie}
Garfield {in Pseudo-Chinese}: 我、最近麗茲桑体重增長懐疑。
[I suspect that Liz's weight increased.]
Odie {in Vietnamese, but written in Chữ Nôm}: ?,碎共?姑?䏜?. [Yeah, I think she became fatter as well.]
Garfield: 其上，彼女黒髮下茶色露出発見。[Moreover, I found brown color exposing from her black hair.]
Odie: 姑?㐌染?,沛空? [She has dyed her hair, isn't it?]
Liz {in Chinese Mandarin}: 胡说八道，我才没胖。还有、我的头发天生就是黑的。[Nonsense, I didn't become fatter. Plus, my hair has been black since I was born.]
{Garfield and Odie escape off-panel in horror}
Liz: We vets are multilingual

The author writes:

Admit it. We all know what's gonna happen on this site the moment we see today's strip. But still, I chose the two most bizarre languages in which I (w/ help of Google Translate) can write, in case my strip idea collides with other cliché posters'.
