Punctuating two quotations in one sentence that are joined by a connective.

Should I use a period, a comma, or nothing after the word BOY in the following sentence?

Remarks, such as “Oh there’s my good boy.” or “Look at my big helper!” dishonor his integrity.

I'd write both sentences in italics thus avoiding the dilemma.

That doesn't answer the question about what punctuation mark, if any, should be used.
