And Listing

When you are listing, do you use 'and' at the end with a comma? Like, would it be "I like cheese, dogs, and Gandhi," or "I like cheese, dogs and Gandhi." I've been told the last comma is optional, but I would like to know for sure. Also, the 'and' is needed, right?

The and is needed. Please search this site for "Oxford comma" and you will find a great amount of discussion on the need for the comma. There is no firm agreement, aside from to be consistent, and either use it every time, or not at all.
