Crain's Detroit Business - August 16
Sure, the sale - and possible move - of the Pistons is big news in metro Detroit right now. But what was exciting to this hometown cartoonist when Mike Ilitch confirmed his interest in buying the team - and left open the possibility of moving them from Oakland County to downtown Detroit to share a new facility with the Red Wings - was the chance to draw two iconic characters in one cartoon; Mr. I and Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson. I've long been an admirer of Mr. Ilitch's commitment to metro Detroit and Mr. Patterson is a long-time friend and someone who has truly dedicated his life to public service. This was a rare opportunity for a cartoonist to assemble a real "dream team" of characters in one cartoon panel!
That's the Point!
