Kass Covers Chalkie

Chalkie hits the big time!!! John Kass Sunday column:

• But first, let's welcome two new members into the Society of the PLMSRCS. Everybody knows this snappy acronym: the Society of People Lord Mayor Shortshanks Really Can't Stand.
  
  One is David Hoffman, the city's inspector general. Mayor Richard Daley appointed him to investigate City Hall corruption. Trouble is, Hoffman is good at his job.
  
  
• Now, let's honor another guy with a political target on his back. My friend Chalkie. He doesn't say much. Chalkie's the silent type.
  
  He's actually a chalk outline of a hypothetical homicide victim, holding a chalk Olympic torch, his limp, little, toeless, chalk feet akimbo.
  
  He's starring on a killer T-shirt just as the mayor hopes to spend billions on the Olympics, though taxpayers are already squeezed dry and violence holds some neighborhoods hostage.

Here's the original appearance of Chalkie way back in June of 2008.

Hopefully, the people over at Chalkie2016 figure out a way to fire up the print shop again for T-shirts and caps.

You've come a long way little chalk outline of ours.
