We are a lucky paper to have such a talented artist willing to work with us. In the paper business, you try to utilize everyone's special talents. Mario can clearly draw, and for weeks we schmoozed him, wanting desperately for him to draw an exclusive comic for the pendulum. In the end, we got it. Now Mario's comic is featured every other week. He also does other art for our section editors. His talent is vital to the paper.
