Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

As much as I hate every single Republican to an almost pathological degree and as much as I find many, many Democrats pathetic and patently not up to the task they are charged with, I am most bitter towards and disdainful of the careless, unserious, bored people who are the American electorate.
