R.U. Steinberg
R.U. Steinberg joined The Austin Chronicle as Listings Editor in 1982, a position he held for six years. In 1988, he came up with the idea for Mr. Smarty Pants Knows while working as a proofreader at the Texas Capitol and has been writing it weekly ever since (he also writes occasional feature stories). Despite his column's logo – drawn by an Austin artist friend who prefers to remain anonymous – he gave up smoking his pipe in 2010.
