Medium Large

About The Author

Francesco Marciuliano writes the internationally-syndicated comic strip Sally Forth. Francesco Marciuliano is a head writer for the PBS series SeeMore’s Playhouse, for which one of his episodes won two 2007 Daytime Emmys. Francesco Marciuliano writes for the Onion News Network. Francesco Marciuliano had a play produced at the New York International Fringe Festival. Francesco Marciuliano mistakenly believes the preceding four sentences will get him laid. Francesco Marciuliano hopes you like this relaunch of the 2004-2006 webcomic Medium Large and deeply thanks all the readers who supported the strip during its initial run. Francesco Marciuliano is far too enamored with pop culture. Francesco Marciuliano is your new bicycle.  ”Francesco Marciuliano” is a remarkably unwieldy name to inflict on a person. Francesco Marciuliano is still deathly afraid of The Sunboy. Francesco Marciuliano needs a new way to begin a sentence.

    Ahh, now I know why your name was ever so familiar when I saw your comic replacing Bizarro in my newspaper this morning. Your Medium-Large comics are very amusing–and I have only just fallen upon them! Thanks!

    I think “we were manufactured” might be a more accurate quote for the evangelical position in the 7-30 Bizarro guest cartoon. Oh, and where did the cheese come from?

    Until the Bizarro cartoon today, I didn’t know about your great warped sense of humor. Thank goodness you haven’t gotten laid yet. Like Samson loosing his power when his hair was cut, if you get laid you might loose you warped edgey humor.

    Your guest spot in Bizarro – evangelical cheese goldfish- is the first and only comic that has ever made me laugh out loud and then cut out the strip and tack it to my office bulletin board, and then keep saying “ha!” as I made co-workers read it.
    So thanks, I now feel like I understand what it is like to be a regular American with a cartoon tacked up in her office- had never got that before.

    If Francesco Marciuliano is ever in the Twin Cities, he should look me up. I’d be happy to, uh, steal his warped edgy humor.

    I had no idea that you drew Sally Forth, I have been reading that comic for years. When the Comics Curmudegeon (sp?) pointed us to you the other day I got to spend some quality work time catching up with the rest of your work. I am very impressed and will now be reading Sally Forth with a lot more enthusiasm.

    I’ve read Sally Forth for years, and I just discovered MediumLarge. Hilarious stuff, I wish the stuff in most newspapers could risk being half as funny as your stuff here.

    I just realized: Francesco Marciuliano looks like Wil Wheaton.

    A Francesco Marciuliano should have 12 cylinders, be wild rose red, have 17 inch wide tires and pull 1 plus G on the skid pad.

    I think you too it a bit too far with the remark about “sounding fat”. NOT funny at all.
    Have a little empathy and consideration.

    Hi Ces, I’m glad to see ‘Medium Large’ again! Missed thestrip after it stopped in 2006. (What happened?)

    Good luck,

    If anybody should be fired at Sally’s company, it’s Jeff: How do you promote Sally to director of marketing when she has been working in human resources all these years, and has no experience in marketing at the corporate level.

    1. What is the music behind the video WHAT IS COMEDY?
    2. You look a little like Ted. A little different hairdo and… Well. Never mind.
    MEDIUM-LARGE is rollicking humor in a sinister mask.
    Keep it rollin’!

    Thanks for the comeback chief. This strip one of the highlights of my day, back before it magically disappeared into the ether of the Internet.

    A lot of things in my life seem to do that these days. My house. My wife. My dog. The dining room table.

    Single tear.
