AAEC Kicks Off Its 50th Convention

Dave Astor at Editor and Publisher has about as fine a pre-convention write-up as you'll ever read. Instead of a comic book convention he's writing about the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists meeting, the 50th of which kicks off this evening. Highlights include a fine Robert Plant anecdote (the world needs more Robert Plant anecdotes), the fact that th organization came into existence to fight its biggest issue today, that of vocational decline, and at least one person admitting that the gatherings may be the most important thing the organization does. If I remember correctly, the boards switch over at the meeting, and I believe Ted Rall is an officer in the forthcoming year. Could be wrong about that, though.

This widely-circulated article about the state of editorial cartooning, which I linked to earlier for a different reason, could be re-read if you want an idea of some of the issues likely to be on people's minds at the conference.
