Best Answer

Unless your setting a non-restrictive clause apart from the rest of the sentence, a comma shouldn't come after the word 'but'. However, a comma should usually precede the word 'but'.

Example: I went to the store, but I couldn't find any strawberries.

Example: They said they were just good friends, but when I saw them kissing, I had my doubts.

Example: It's all over but the crying.

Grammatically correct sentences should also not start with the word 'but' or any other conjunction.
