Sunday Funnies: Dummo Mouse Rough Draft with Punctuation Errors

My older brother usually did pretty well with punctuation in his unpublished, unfinished 1983 comic strip Dummo Mouse. When I originally read this episode, I didn’t notice the punctuation errors in the first panel. Back in 1983, I was a junior in high school, and I was pretty good with grammar and punctuation even then, but I had no idea I was going to become an English teacher for 30 years, so I didn’t pay attention to these kinds of details. I just liked the pictures.

These mistakes below aren’t a big deal. They don’t affect the meaning at all, and this is just a rough draft anyway. If I tell my brother to look for errors in this strip, he’ll be able to find them without my help. It’s just that he was in his early twenties and… Aw shucks, I don’t need to defend him on this. I’m probably the jerk for noticing the errors and pointing them out.
