Steve Warmbir ::

Steve Warmbir joined the Chicago Sun-Times editorial board in March 2008 after working eight years at the newspaper as a reporter.

Warmbir started as a general assignment reporter and later went on to cover the federal court system in Chicago.

He was one of two Sun-Times reporters who broke the story of the Hired Truck scandal, one of the biggest such scandals in Chicago history. Warmbir went on to write numerous stories regarding municipal corruption and organized crime.

His work has won many state and national awards, including a George Polk prize and two gold medals from the Investigative Reporters and Editors group.

He lives in Chicago with his wife.

This one is long overdue. For 28 years, Jack Higgins has been drawing brilliant editorial cartoons for the Chicago Sun-Times, winning every award that comes with being the best, including the Pulitzer Prize.

He knocks around the pols — they can take it. He stands up for hard-up. He celebrates the everyday heroes.

Higgins is Chicago to  the bone, brought into this world by the same obstetrician who delivered Richard M. Daley. And at some point, Jack became something more to every Sun-Times reader who ever laughed or sighed or flew into a rage over a   Higgins cartoon — a Chicago institution.

But only now — finally — has Higgins gathered up some of his finest work and put it between the covers of a book.

That book, with a foreword by Roger Ebert, is  My Kind of ’Toon, Chicago Is: Political Cartoons. It’s in the bookstores. Or get it online at amazon.com.
