Wisconsin has a rich German heritage to it hence why it has a rich beer brewing industry. Maybe they are visiting relatives or something and they are on their back to Chicago O Hare or something.
That’s not what Google translate outputs if you put it in as two sentences… and have the capitalization right (which admittedly doesn’t come through in the all-caps font I use).
If you feel like fixing the German, it should be something like, “Du kannst nicht einfach Fremde in Tankstellen belästigen!”
(As it is, the strip is really weird: why would these people talk to each other in broken German? Unless neither of them is actually German, but that’s the only language they both kinda know?…)
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

I think Google Translate may have been used to generate the dialogue to begin with. It’s the German equivalent of Engrish.
