St. Paul Police, 1941
October 10, 2005



Something from the archives today: "Saint Paul Police Detectives and Their Work: A Color Chartoon." A strange little stop-motion animation touting the various vices tackled by St. Paul Police. My hats off to the brave artistic minds behind this gem, who chose to represent sex crimes as a pair of greasy hands ripping apart a rose bud (!).

Watch for Part 2 sometime soon...

Now I know ... and knowing is half the battle. Saint Paul sounds like a safe place to live.

St. Paul also leads the nation in violent chartoons. I'm kind of suprised they didn't take a few shots at Minneapolis.

The sex part with the man taking apart the rose is way too creepy.

Damn sex perverts.

Greasy hands. Rosebud. I am scarred for life.

writing a bad check is sometimes done out of necessity. what about when your broke and payday is two days away and you need bread. certainly the good people of saint paul would understand.
