This Week's Issue: Seven Days' First Cartoon Issue
Notice anything different about Seven Days' print edition this week? There are a lot fewer words — and a lot more cartoons.
This week, we decided to give our keyboards a rest and tell stories in graphic form. As co-editor Pamela Polston explains, we weren't quite sure how to do an all-cartoon issue at first. But we figured it out along the way, and we think the results are pretty fantastic (thanks mostly to the excellent cartoonists.)
This is an issue you'll want to pick up in print. But if you can only read it online, here's what's in news:
- Vermont's best-known undocumented migrant is a 23-year-old Mexican named Danilo Lopez. He's made quite a splash in Vermont, but the feds want to deport him by July 6.
- Chittenden County currently ships its sewer sludge to New York. But do we really know what's in that stuff?
- Who knew, but state Sen. Mark MacDonald (D-Orange) is the quite the political cartoonist, and we've collecting a sampling of his drawings from the 2013 session.
- And in Fair Game, Paul Heintz and Tim Newcomb team up to examine Macadam Mason's Taser death one year later — and whether Vermont will ever change its stun-gun policy.
