Comic Strip Syndication

A U.S. comic strip syndicate will act as an agent for a cartoonist or comic strip creator, working to place the cartoon or strip in as many newspapers as possible on behalf of the artist. In some cases, the work will be owned by the syndicate as opposed to the creator. Although initially acting as a placement agent, syndicates have also started to provide holidays and other benefits. A syndicate can receive upwards of 5000 submissions a year, from which only two or three will be selected for representation. Notable syndicates include King Features Syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, United Media, Creators Syndicate, and Tribune Media Services. Online webcomic syndicates include Keenspot and Modern Tales.
