. I'm feeling very dense. I see the need for a full stop after the word "comma". But... where would the missing comma be? I think not in place of the colon, because then the word "said" should be inserted.
Maybe I'm just up way too late, but could you explain?
If you look at the tiny writing at the top, it reads:
Good Omens was co-written almost 30 years ago by Sir Terry, who died in 2015 after a public struggle with Alzheimer's, and Neil Gaiman.
The sentence is badly written but without that last comma, it would have claimed Sir Terry died after a public struggle with Alzheimer's *and* Neil Gaiman (like they had a public punch up).
. Thank you! I completely overlooked the small text at the top -- it was just a decorative bit of blue between the two bars.
My bad. But looking at it from a stylistic view, it's very poorly laid out -- almost like someone wanted people to not read the top bit. Very strange. .
