Chicago Tribune creates papercraft tribute to lying politico

Indiebass sez, "For the very narrow niche of people who are interested in both papercraft and politics, the Chicago Tribune has created this Sen. Roland Burris (D-IL) 'Pinocchio' pdf with real Nose Grows with Lies action! Personally, I'm more interested in the papercraft side of it, and I'm more impressed the Chicago Tribune thought 'you know what would get a point across? Papercraft!'"

I love this. I think there should be regular paper models and popups in newspapers and magazines. Then I might buy them.

That may be, quite literally, the best thing that the Trib has ever done.

A model for the future of the newspaper industry. Switch to heavier paper and papercraft of all the days top stories.

I want a whole Illinois Governors series in old-timey jailbird costumes.

That, or some kind of Richard M. Daley/parking meter mashup.

The artist that created this is Joe Fournier.

I think BoingBoing might have featured his Jar Jar Binks getting fired animated short some years ago...

He did Blago also...
