This is Strunk & White, rewritten using a predictive text generator by Jamie Brew. And to be honest, given how terrible the advice is in The Elements of Style, I think it makes more sense this way. 

(Also: tag yourself. I’m a member of the Government Sentence Office.)

In spring summer or winter, sentences should be avoided

i read that as “in spring, summer or winter sentences should be avoided”

like it’s unlucky to use the run-on summer sentence or the passive voiced, simple winter sentence in other seasons

never use the subjunctive after Labor Day

By itself, a comma is a portrait of a guitar.  This is entirely correct.
