I moonlight doing legal copyediting for my friend Al.  I usually do this work during my commute to and from my regular job at HAP.  This page collects all the times I wrote “comma” on the last five or six briefs that I worked on. I’m never sure how many peaks and valleys I put on the double-M in comma when I write it out on the bumpy train.

Here’s a painting of the comma collection.  Inkjet and watercolor on paper. Hi, Al!
