AAEC Con Underway In Seattle

Although the big story going into the convention is the idea being raised of an unlikely and impractical merger, it's worth noting that the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists yearly meeting gets underway today in Seattle. This looks like a fine slate of programming to me

but I think more important than ever will be the series of informal conversations and the mood of the overall assembled. The usual drop in formal editorial cartooning positions became a terrifying plunge this year, while at the same time the possibilities have slightly expanded in terms of cartoonist involvement in whatever forms American journalism embraces in the next quarter-century. I wish I could go to all the panels, and I wish I could sit in the bar 20 minutes before closing time and talk things out.
