Yes, there should be, Doug.  As William Strunk, Jr.'s book "The Elements of 
Style" explains, "In a series of three or more terms with a single 
conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last."

The worst one, which for some unknown reason seems to be universally 
accepted, is still "Collect-i-ble" !! This one always sets my teeth on 
edge, similarly, "different to", "compared to" and  "independ-a-nt".

What I'm never sure about is, when listing a series, as above, should 
there be a comma before "and"?
