I have a grammar question, regarding this sentence:
"We laugh at the penguin for its funny walk, flippers at its sides like a gawky adolescent, the very model of dignified absurdity from the nonchalance of its upturned beak to its splayed, flat feet, Charlie Chaplin in a tuxedo."
Should I add a comma after "dignified absurdity" and change the final comma to a colon?
So it would read:
"...the very model of dignified absurdity, from the nonchalance of its upturned beak to its splayed, flat feet: Charlie Chaplin in a tuxedo."
Is this grammatically correct? Thanks in advance!
