Pitchfork’s comma use suggests they may have been bought out by The Guardian. Most American style guides recommend keeping punctuation inside quotes, while many blogs seem to follow the British approach, which is certainly more logical (it avoids making punctuation an accomplice), even though I find it aesthetically discomforting (and anti-American!). There is one incongruity: Ed Droste’s first quote conforms to common rules of attribution (he said, she said, etc.), keeping the comma inside the quote. The visual inconsistency irks me, in spite of its logic. I would also like to point out an unfortunate “missed opportunity” for a semi-colon (the most provocative of punctuation marks whose prevalence on grad school dissertations is now vindicated by its near absence on Twitter). Otherwise, the post reflects solid grammar (album titles in italics, song titles in “quotes,” and intelligent distinction between “their” and “they are.”) I should point out that TV shows should technically be in italics, but who’s keeping track? Apocalypse Wow. (Just one more thing: whatever happened to “smart quotes”?)

It is nice to know people out there are paying as much attention to our punctuation as we do! For the record, as a rule, we keep commas and periods outside of song and TV show titles, but inside of normal quotes (the final period in the story cited above is outside of the quotes because Ed Droste did not end his original tweet with a period and we wanted to quote him as accurately as possible). For those interested in reading even more about this sort of thing (millions, surely!), please check out this Slate piece about logical punctuation featuring insight from our own editor-in-chief, Mark Richardson.

Not entirely sure why this is making me giggle so much.

The Superhero Media Crossover Project
by Butcher Billy

Just how thin is the line that separate movies from comics? Modern from classic? Pixels from ink?

It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard.

A true homage to Kirby, Ditko, Romita Sr. and all the other artists that kept inspiring and being a reference to the modern media. And all of us.
