Francesco Marciuliano

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francesco Marciuliano is the writer of Sally Forth, a widely syndicated comic strip, currently illustrated by Jim Keefe. Marciuliano also writes and draws the satiric web comic Medium Large, which originally ran from April 2004 to January 2007. After a long hiatus, the site was revamped and new strips began appearing each weekday on May 27, 2008.

Career

Marciuliano was hired to work on Sally Forth after strip creator Greg Howard retired from his writing duties. His work on the syndicated strip is in keeping with the strip's family-friendly and relatively traditional history, and he has received praise for his depiction of the breakout character of Ted Forth, a strategic sourcing professional who is married to the strip's title character and who has been received some criticism for being nebbishy and weak-willed (a la Caspar Milquetoast).

His other work is much more irreverent, edgy, and occasionally foul-mouthed, something that often comes as a surprise to those familiar with Sally Forth.

He was a featured panelist at Comicon New York 2007-2009 at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan. He is a contributing writer to The Onion News Network. He also writes the blog/performance series Conversations with Dad and the blog Francesco Explains It All. He writes for the PBS television series Seemore's Playhouse, for which he won two 2007 Regional Daytime Emmy Awards.

He is also the author of the bestselling satirical novelty book, I Could Pee on This and Other Poems by Cats.

Personal

Marciuliano lives in New York City. He is also an enthusiastic and well-received participant in online community discussions on Sally Forth in particular and comics in general, including Gene Weingarten's online chats at the Washington Post Web site and the comments section of the Comics Curmudgeon hosted by noted comics critic Josh Fruhlinger of Baltimore.
