Strip by: David Morgan-Mar

{A Duolingo screen, with the following text:}
Caption: Write this in English
Italian text to be translated: Il fuoco รจ pronto e possiamo iniziare.
English translation on tiles: The fire is ready and we can start
{Garfield comic panel}
Jon: Garfield, you make a lovely fire
Garfield {tail extending out of the fire}: I do make a lovely fire

The author writes:

While doing routine Italian language practice on Duolingo, I had to translate this sentence. Of course, it immediately brought an appropriate context to mind.
