Please don’t remove the artist’s caption/comment when you reblog a drawing/comic/etc.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but in my case the caption is often an addition to the joke, and if you take it away, you take away a part of my comic.

this is really creepy omg

I like this. It’s about time someone made something to show exactly what butchering an artists posts is like.

A grammatical correct sentence in English.

Actually, it isn’t a grammatically correct sentence.  It’s a sentence fragment (which is in fact grammatically correct), containing only the subject: “A ship.”  Add as many adjectives to the subject as you wish, but it remains a sentence fragment until a verb is attained.

There are three ways to fix it while maintaining the joke. It’s implied that the caption is describing the image, in which case one would write: “This is a ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships.” In the sentence, is is a verb.

It’s also possible to make it a sentence while extending the joke even further: “A ship shipping ship shipping shipping ships ships,” in which ‘ships’ is a verb; the ship (shipping shipping ships hsips shpis shiphsp hsp shiphishpshphspisihsihs) is shipping the ships.

Finally, one could change only the third word to achieve the following: A ship ships ship shipping shipping ships.  This is in essence the above example, but with the verb in a different place.  It is, however, a bit more efficient.

Conclusion: this description contains no verb pertaining to the subject, and so is not a sentence.  However, it is, in fact, grammatically correct.

(Also, for best results read the above explanation in the voice of a British butler.)
