I sometimes experience a vague sense of frustration that I cannot simply hit CTRL+F to find keywords in books. That's the seed behind the Googlitis panel of this cartoon, though a post-cartoon Google search revealed others have had similar ideas before me. It's hard to stay ahead of the geek curve. (As if to prove my point, a quick Google search reveals 92 instances of "geek curve.")



Last week's strip concerned that laughable quote from South Dakota state senator Bill Napoli that everyone sentient has heard by now. I regret that space limitations caused me to leave out the line, "She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated." Following the interview, Mr. Napoli repaired to the senate gym for a cold shower.

I thought about throwing in a gag about secondary virginity, that abstinence-movement phenomenon in which non-virgins pledge to swear off boffing until marriage. It never made its way in, but I did find this fairly-inspired spoof site (ignore the broken frame and scroll down past the ads at the top of the page).
