Hey @highladderbed, sorry if it seemed like I dropped off the map. I have a Substack and also a new graphic novel out https://t.co/uCLdB2o08C

Next one with Excla Machine should be out this summer :)

[Ty.Rickers @RickersTy]

Hey! I just started a Substack where I’m going to post bios of my characters plus fun grammar facts. Doing this because I’m currently working on graphic novels of the Punctuators origin story with fun new villains. Click the link to get the newsletter https://t.co/TotOadQMly

Art the Tickler!

Another character concept: he tickles the articles in a sentence.

Examples of articles in English grammar include ‘a’ and ‘the’ or in Spanish ‘la’, ‘el’, ‘un’ and ‘una’

DemoNimrod!

Demonym: a noun used to denote the natives or inhabitants of a particular country, state, city, etc.
