Francesco Marciuliano is the current writer of "Sally Forth," a widely syndicated
comic strip (the current illustrator isCraig MacIntosh ). Marciuliano writes and draws the satiric web comic [http://www.medium-large.com Medium Large] . The strip 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.

His work on the syndicated strip is in keeping with the strip's family-friendly and relatively traditional history.

Gene Weingarten 's online chats at theWashington Post Web site, and in the comments section of theComics Curmudgeon blog.He was a featured panelist at Comicon New York 2007 at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan.
