In their cartoon series, Art & Graphics Editor Pierre Vargas entertains readers with editorial cartoons. This second installment captures the confusion experienced with Illinois’ weather.
We’re all quite familiar with how bipolar Illinois weather can be, as depicted here by the cartoon version of 42Fifty’s social media editor, Sammie Davis… who may secretly be a penguin in her winter coat. We must investigate the matter further.
My name is Pierre Vargas, I am a senior at OHS and this is my first year as a journalist and go by any pronouns. I am an artist, I particularly enjoy drawing cartoons, and I participate in art club and independently. You can email me through 42fifty@sd308.org and putting my name in the subject line.
