Chan Lowe: Super Bowl party central
There is no small amount of controversy here in the Super Bowl Host Area about whether the whole mess is worth it to our economy.
Some will argue that the lion’s share of the money ends up out of the area, at hotel and restaurant chain headquarters, for example.
Tourism boosters maintain that there is no substitute for the nonstop sunny skies and balmy weather that our northern friends will feast upon as they huddle in their Snuggies with three feet of snow outside.
Whatever. One segment that will certainly benefit, as we related in our news pages, is the strip club industry and…um…related adult-oriented businesses, not to mention some criminal enterprises that I won’t even go into.
In that regard, my original sketch for this cartoon showed just the pair of legs with no miniskirt or microphone. My editor felt we should broaden the comment to include all of the performing, partying and ancillary activities, so I cleaned it up a little.
Perceptive readers will be able to discern a few familiar faces among the merrymakers I have depicted.
CHAN LOWE has been the Sun Sentinel’s first and only editorial cartoonist for the past twenty-six years. Before that, he worked as cartoonist and writer for the Oklahoma City Times and the Shawnee (OK) News-Star.

Here is the key to today's cartoon puzzle, so people don't go crazy: In the crowd, there are three presidents and one dictator.
Anybody else you may find is a product of your own twisted imagination. Either that, or my subconscious was flowing through my brush.
