Use the proper case of pronoun
The personal pronouns, as well as the pronoun who, change forms as they function as subject or object.
Who calls?
Give this cookie to whoever looks hungry.

Do not join independent clauses with a comma
If two or more clauses grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence, the proper mark of punctuation is a semi-colon. (Shrunk & White pg.5)
Ms. Rieger’s anecdotes are entertaining; they are full of humorous details.
