Haha, love it! XD Great find - I love so many of his comics! This one reminds me of the tv show Grounded For Life - Lily (the daughter) keeps misusing figuratively, and her father keeps correcting her or messing with her. If you haven't seen the show, it's well worth watching! :)

The bit I'm thinking of starts at 1.12 in this video, or you can just read the quote below. Grounded For Life (http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=zC9La8fCrvI)

Lily: Do you realize what you've done? You have literally pushed me
off a cliff. You have literally pushed me to my death. I am
literally dead thanks to you.
Sean: Me? Look, Im not the one who chose to hook up with the Beastie
Boys for an out-of-state drinking binge!
Lily: That is so unfair! I only had one drink. Everyone else had,
like, five.
Sean: Good. Then you were sober compared to the boy who was going to
drive you home to your CERTAIN DEATH.
Lily: You are so embarrassing! I am literally dying of embarrassment!
Sean: You know, I really wish you would look up the word literally
because - [Lily screams and storms off]
