Sam: What'd you think of Obama's speech, Zonk? Zonker: Loved it... at least the parts I could hear over the screams of the crowd! The whole thing seemed reminiscent of a Dave Clark Five concert! Sam: Or the Beatles, right? Zonker: No idea. I could never afford Beatles tickets.

Grok, the correct usage in this case would be “shone” rather than “shined”. “Literally” is almost as overused as “basically” in current colloquial English, and should not in any case be placed between the subject and predicate in a subordinate clause. Please revise and resubmit. Thank you.

Grok….If this comic bothers you THAT bad, then why do you read it everyday? Just avoid the stress…and the snide remarks!

I liked Obama’s speech. It was well done. I also like that John McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate. So either way, we’ll finally inject some GenX into the executive. “I just wanted a PEPSI, mom!”

This Presidential race has suddenly become much more interesting with the introduction of Sarah Palin.

Grokenstein: Kudos on using the word “literally” correctly! (I mean, I assume that you used it correctly, putting it into the context of a cartoon.)
