Tiggs doesn't seem to believe me, OR the countless other folks, who've pointed out to her that the title should be Tiggs' Toon, not Tigg's Toon.
It would be Tigg's Toon if her name was Tigg, but when you make something that ends with an "s" possessive, you put the comma AFTER the word, so it'd be "Tiggs' Toon."
Initially, it was called Tigg's Toon's, which was so very wrong, and eventually it was revised to have Toon be singular, I'm guessing since they don't understand that the way to make words plural doesn't involve an 's after everything. It's an everpresent grammar misconception, so it's not like I fault anyone for having it, it's just that their English teacher likely never got through to them the difference between possessive and plural suffixes.
Know who I blame this on the downfall of? Society.

Saw your reply theretoo Else. 
Wook - I think that's because her name is really "Tigger" which the shortened version isnormaly "Tigg"... so we get "Tigg's" here even though we normally call her "Tiggs."
If her name was officially "Tiggs" then it would need to be "Tiggs' Toon", but since Tiggs is just a cute short version of the longer (but copyrighted) Tigger, she swaps out "Tigg" or "Tiggs" as suits her.... at least I think that's the deal.
Edited for clarity.

That apostrophe thing drives me crazy too. The only time I've ever submtted a caption, it was referring to this particular error in punctuation.

I'd like to comment on one of the entries from Tigg's Toon.
First Guy: "WOW, those mime clases are really paying of. She hasn't moved for hours!"
Second Guy: "No she got paralyzed with fear when she found out her profession was going to be 'fixed' in tomorrow's patch."
I would disqualify this one. If the Dancer profession were ever even mentioned in the patch notes, there would be a SWARM of dancers out there dancing.....with a contingent of Musicians cheering along.
Put it here because I didn't want to make an overtly political statement in Tigg's thread nor didI want to test the ketchup theory.

Though in a dazed condition from being sick enough to be awake at 4am, I have to ponder on what the heck the ketchup theory is . . . . and yet, at the same time I wonder why I wonder . . . .

Howdy, oh fellow late-nighter!
The ketchup theory - check out Tiggs' signature (check out the apostrophe!) sometime...
Needless to say, you don't want Roho testing that out.
