It is with considerable sadness and great pique that we report on the imminent passing of the website of the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists after a long illness.
EditorialCartoonists.com has been experiencing difficulties for a while now; for my part, some of my cartoons weren't going "public" from "private" when they were supposed to lately. Other cartoonists had problems uploading their work at all.
The code developed by the original web design company in its effort to accommodate the various goals of the AAEC and its sundry members has proven to be impossible for our current company to fix, and the general consensus seems to be that it's time to put EditorialCartoonists.com out of our misery.
It was nice for us having a place to store our work on line; but even though Facebook might continue to urge your friends to wish you a happy birthday for years after you're dead, nothing on the internet is quite as permanent as we were once led to believe. Except for that Ancient Aliens Crazy Hair Guy meme.
To anyone who has gone to the AAEC site to repost cartoons that I have split up into individual panels here, I can only apologize and refer you to any of the links on the right side of this page that go to publications that post my work on line.
EditorialCartoonists.com is survived by its Facebook page and Twitter feed. Memorials to the AAEC are appreciated.
