Ponzi the pink pig has been ducking for cover for much of the week, frightened by the unpleasant events around Nichols School.
But he and his animal friends are back this morning with another installment of cartoonist Junad Rizki's advice about how Evanston could wipe out its budget deficit.
Just in time for the start of the annual debate over the City of Evanston's budget, cartoonist Junad Rizki's pink pig, Ponzi, has gotten together with his animal friends.
And they've come up with a plan for staving off a tax increase.
