What gets me is that I can’t find an interrobang in my special characters list. It should have a proper key of its own on the keyboard. Let’s start an Interrobang Appreciation Society.
Scott’s mistaken. “Interrobang” refers specifically to a single mark that looks like a question mark overlaying an exclamation point or vice versa. I’ve never seen it except in discussions of failed grammar fads.
Stephen’s right. Another such emphatic mark is the “doublestop,” which is two superimposed periods. It’s difficult to spot, but if you suddenly cease reading at the end of a sentence, there’s a good chance you’ve hit a doublestop.

The very last sentence should end in a question mark, right?

The entire strip made me laugh, but the second panel made me laugh the loudest. Well done as always Scott!

When you double them up do they become interrobang-bangs?

Is it still an interrobang if you don’t use a question mark.

What’s so hard about knowing when to use a question mark!

“The company doesn’t care about your emotions. It’s just one more way that we’re like a family.” How true!

I loved this?! Great strip. Is this a repeat? I’ve never seen it before. Scott should get waylaid more often.
