Take a look at the sentence again:
For a sentence to be a comma splice, you must have two complete sentences joined with a comma. In the example above, there is no comma. Clarence couldn't believe … begins one sentence. When he brought home twenty of them, his wife Marie just shook her head … starts the second sentence. Because only empty space exists between the two sentences, you should call this error a fused sentence.
Remember that both comma splices and fused sentences are major errors. They make your reader think that you cannot write a correct sentence. Because the sentence is the most basic building block of a piece of writing, comma splices and fused sentences make you look like an amateur!
To fix the problem above, you could put a period after each and begin when with a capital W.
