Mark enjoys the proud distinction of being the first Citizen of Happy Fun World who has absolutely no real-life relationship with Johnny. He simply happened to find himself in the auspicious position of sending Johnny some fan mail just as Johnny was considering the current HFW revamp. Because he helped "beta test" the site, some of his application was lost in a wonky form-posting error. What's left is below. Enjoy it!
