Bob the Squirrel by Frank Page for November 15, 2011

It’s “drunk”. I could’ve DRUNK.

This sort of error (past tense for the participle) is becoming so common, even among educated people, that I suspect in another few generations it will become accepted.

Of even greater concern is the depiction of toxic waste being buried in the ground…!

drunk it… hmm, do you still use thee and thou also

People use drank incorrectly because they don’t want to be taken for DRUNKS…………..

@pschearer What one has to realize is that this comic is based on reality, and how many people speak “proper” English all the time? So would you like this comic to feel more realistic or do you want it always to be grammatically and linguistically correct? And although you pay for your account on here, it’s very minimal and goes to the upkeep of the site, not for the artists, so really, you’re getting a free comic, stop complaining.

Diet soft drinks are gross. Don’t want all that sugar? Drink water. Don’t try to fake it with all that artificial junk – it’s worse for you than the sugar.

Drink, Drank…Drunk!

Funny thing is, I think Bob is just storing all those sodas for the Winter. Instincts can do funny things with your mind.

First time I’ve ever agreed with pshearer on anything, but “I drank it” — fine. “I could have drunk it” — fine. “I could have drank it” — yecch!

“Squirreling” away for a rainy day, Bob?

Think, thank, thunk??
