Politics: Kevin and Darin make a comic book?
OK, I know. The title of the office is “state’s attorney” and not “district attorney.” But I think the guy on the left looks a little like Kevin Lyons and the one of the right looks a little like Darin LaHood. In fact, if you look carefully, the guy on the left is just a tad shorter.
The guy making a getaway looks like no well-known Peoria crook I know. Perhaps he’s just symbolic of all the bad guys that have flown the coop under Lyon’s watch, and the guy on the right symbolizes LaHood sounding the alarm. The Lyons character is remaining silent, perhaps symbolizing his belief that it’s not his role to be a crime-fighter, but to sit back and wait for the police to make arrests, then decide whether they’ve collected enough evidence to guarantee an easy conviction. This cover would be even more symbolic of Peoria’s situation if there were a judge sentencing the bad guy to probation.
Just a thought.
Hat tip to a ex-Peorian who has also flown the coop, and who shall remain nameless.
