Punctuation of a headline
Hey guys,
could you please help me out with punctuation of this headline. What I want to say is that your duty is to give free hugs.
Duty, free hugs.
Duty: free hugs.
Duty – free hugs.
...or maybe there is an option I haven't considered.
Thank you for your help in advance!

The last is closest to the meaning, and it has the advantage of being puzzling until you know what it is supposed to mean, traditional in headlines. It also looks like a mistake for "duty-free", which is a good thing. It's like pre-internet clickbait.

0I think that any of these are potentially hard to understand. I suggest a minimum of "Your duty: free hugs". You can also consider "Free hugs are your duty".
