Entitled "Love is better when its' [sic] UGLY," the creator of Ren and Stimpy drew a caricature of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.
This sentence contains a dangling participle. A participial phrase is positioned so that it modifies the wrong word. The title of the caricature contains an error in diction.
The participial phrase "Love is better when its' [sic] UGLY" is located at the beginning of the sentence and therefore modifies the subject. The subject is "creator," but the creator is not entitled "Love is better when its' [sic] UGLY." This is the title of the caricature. Move the participial phrase closer to the word it modifies to correct the error.
The creator of Ren and Stimpy drew a caricature of Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn entitled "Love is better when its' [sic] UGLY."
In this position, the title modifies the caricature.
"Its'" is not a word. The proper word to use in this context is "it's," which is a contraction of "it is."
"Love is better when it's UGLY."
Note: The notation "[sic]" is used to indicate that a quoted word or words were written or spoken exactly as they are presented and that any error is not on the part of the writer.
