More AAEC Convention Coverage

Alan Gardner of Daily Cartoonist wraps up his coverage of last weekend's yearly meeting of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, held in Portland this year, with a Saturday report and a wrap-up. Gardner's been around this organization long enough to be able to report on something that never would have occurred to me: the difference between the weekend as it exists right now and as it existed in the flush period that newspapers and their staffers enjoyed in the late 1990s. You can't read some of what he writes and not wince a little bit, even as he extols the virtues of the modern version.

The AAEC site has their own post-con links round-up here. One question I have is that I thought the AAEC announced their next slate of officers as this convention. It looks like Steve Kelley is incoming president, but I can't remember if I already knew that or not.
