A comma is a punctuation mark that we all know but not all of us can use correctly. Honestly speaking, I still get confused when and when not to use a comma. I don't forget using them, but I think I have a tendency to overuse them. I initially wanted to enumerate them here, but I decided to list useful links instead.
I also found some funny photos online about the use of comma, so I'm putting them here. I do not own the photos. Credits to the owners.
