Pete Mento is a failed standup comedian currently masquerading as a Maco-Economist and Customs House Broker specializing in international trade.  When he isn’t telling dick and fart jokes for beer money, he advises the world’s largest companies on matters of international trade.  A noted expert in counter terrorism and cargo security, he is often poorly quoted by television sock puppets and booze soaked journalist on these issues.  Although he can speak eight languages, he can sneeze in twelve, isn’t afraid of fistfights, grizzly bears or dentists and has been known to drink an entire bottle of Wild Turkey to make the voices in head stop chattering.  When he isn’t off in some third world crap hole talking about trade, he is at home in Northern Virginia with his four kids, and his beautiful fiancé whom, if he hadn’t mentioned in this bio, would have kicked his teeth in.  Mostly, he is an overly opinionated asshole acting out on the internet for the attention he so desperately wants.

The year, 1974. From out of space, comes a runaway planet, hurtling between the Earth and the moon, unleashing cartoon destruction. Man’s civilization is cast in ruin. 42 years later, Earth is reborn. A strange new world rises from the old. A world of silliness, impossible science, and jokes that just make you wonder why he wasn’t beaten more as a child. But that one man uses his pencils and brush pens to fight for justice. With his companions, most of which are imaginary and made up, the ones that are real, decline to admit that they know him.  He pits his lack strength, his Courage the Cowardly Dog bravery, and his fabulous Sunsword (well, it’s not really a Sunsword, see it’s a pen he holds up to the window in the morning and talks to, in order to slay that paper in front of him and make cartoons that look good) against the forces of evil and people who stop him from getting Tacos.
He is Ed Smith—Cartoonist at Large!!
