Oxford Comma

This cartoon shows that with the oxford comma, the sentence shows that we invited 3 different groups of individuals: the strippers, JFK, and Stalin. Without the oxford comma, the sentence implies that only 2 individuals were invited, and those are the 2 strippers, JFK and Stalin. Without the comma, the sentence is interpreted incorrectly, and comically.
