The Lightning Round

Cranking out a weekly drawing for Creative Loafing's crime report is such a strange and occasionally tense assignment. I never know what material I'm going to get. The Blotter Diva, Lauren, sends me the text on Tuesday or Wednesday. I have until Friday to whip up a doodle. Sometimes the Gods of Crime are feeling generous and I'll receive maybe five or six items to choose from. I love those weeks.
Lately, though, I've been getting just one. Which is like the Blotter Lightning Round, especially when the item is as distasteful as this week's:

A 73-year-old woman said a man grabbed her right buttock while she was walking on University Avenue. Then, the man reportedly stuck out his tongue at her, grabbed his crotch and shook it.

Um, wow. Classy!
(As a side note, I was happy to see that Blotter got top billing on the Loaf's site today. Love it when that happens.)
