Today is Punctuation Day!

Dear citizens,

We, the Super Symbols, are not known to be characters of many words (it's just not part of our code). Instead, we prefer to stand quietly and faithfully by the words within your sentences, offering them guidance, functionality, and clarity whenever they need our help. And even though we primarily play a silent and symbolic role within your sentences, we always do so with honor, integrity, and respect.

But on this day, September 24th, we break our silence. On this day, good citizens, we will be heard. For on this day—we revel, we exclaim, and we shout these words to the world—"Today is Punctuation Day!"

To commemorate this special day, we offer you this: a Super-Grammar-style illustration, in the guise of a comic book cover. May it serve as a lasting and honorable tribute to punctuation everywhere.

And just for fun, here's a Punctuation Day bonus illustration! It features the brave Captain Hijinks, a superhero who is willing to put his very life on the line to show the importance of proper punctuation.
Happy Punctuation Day to all, and we hope you will celebrate the day with us by marking this occasion in your own special way!

Forever yours,
The Super Symbols

Thank you, Jeff and Norma, for elevating the national conversation about punctuation and for creating a day that celebrates the importance of these silent sentence superheroes.

Sincerely,
The Super Grammar Team
