Apostrophe Ninja
Normally, I’d run a First Book Friday post here. Alas, I didn’t have one ready. I’ve got several invitations out, but since I’m not paying for these posts, I don’t feel right setting deadlines or pressuring people who are already taking the time to write something for us.
So then I was going to do a First Book Friday roundup with links back to all the posts. (The clip show of blogging.)
But then I had another idea. Since the Writing Reality Check comic was the most popular post I’ve done in months, why not do another comic? And I knew just the message I wanted to get across.
(Yeah, I don’t think Randall Munroe has anything to fear from me.)

Oh, if only there really were an Apostrophe Ninja. He (or she) would be my favorite superhero!
(Yes, I was an English major. Does it show that much?)

I <3 this. The “writing reality check” comic was great, but I love this. I want a black t-shirt, with a big apostrophe on it, and the words “Apostrophe Ninja.” WANT. 🙂
Perhaps there is a whole LEAGUE of Grammar Ninjas!
Ooo…

You need to put T-shirts with that final frame image on Cafepress or Zazzle or something. Yes, really.

You are T-shirt requester #3. I’ll see what I can do. (I’ve still got to get the Neil Gaiman Facts T-shirt from a year or two back made, too…)

I think I want that T-shirt just for the stick figure wearing a cheesehead. Go Pack! The rest of the comic is pretty cool too. 🙂
