BASE SERIAL ON FORMULA

How about moving Charlise Lyles to the comics page? The article about the heroine who steals baby formula for starving infants is a great start for a serial.

May I suggest following up with the heroine (wearing appropriate Super Person attire) dragging the mean-spirited governor before a Peoples' Tribunal. There she will charge him with the crime of threatening her with a job in two years.

After he is executed, shift to a merry band of senior citizens who steal dog food and cache it for their own consumption when Newt Gingrich throws them out on the street.

Follow that with a gang of children who steal new computers so they can replace the 1-year-old models at their school.

No need for more suggestions. I am confident that your in-depth investigative reporter Lyles will find many good causes.

Keep up the great journalism.
