Flavorwire brings us 10 obscure punctuation marks that, they say, deserve more play. I’ve always been a fan of the interrobang, but the acclamation point (pictured above) sure feels like a stretch to me: It looks like the surprised expression of some 1960s underground comic character.

I do, however, really like the exclamation comma and the question comma — they seem genuinely useful and, to the point of the article, really do deserve to be accepted into general use. It’ll never happen, of course; imagine all the rework of fonts and keyboards that would need to happen to accommodate a popular new punctuation mark, much less two of them.
