I often think of blogs as webcomics' more verbose, less flashy cousin. There are countless parallels between blogs and webcomics and I often find insights into blogs providing some new way to think about webcomics.
Bethesda, MD, July 15, 2003 -- SPX announced today that cartoonist and web-publisher Steve Conley will assume the duties of Executive Director beginning with the 2004 season. "Because the Executive Director position with SPX is a volunteer position, although not a hard and fast rule, SPX seeks to have a new Executive Director every three years," says Michael Zarlenga, former Executive Director. "I served for three years and it was a tremendous time commitment."
"We generally try to choose a new Executive Director from within since that person is already familiar with many aspects of the show," says current Executive Director, Greg McElhatton. "Knowing my three-year term was coming to a close after this year's show, we started our search early. When Steve volunteered, everyone knew we could not find a better candidate."
