Presenting extensive entertaining explanations of the rules of punctuation, this revised and expanded book offers advice on punctuation and a "bizarre comedy of manners." Whimsical illustrations and the travails of numerous fictional characters accompany explanations of the rules of punctuation. Chapters in the book address the exclamation point, the question mark, the period, the comma, the semicolon, the colon, the hyphen, the dash, quotation marks, italics, parentheses, brackets, the slash, the apostrophe, and ellipses.
