Comic strip syndication
A comic strip syndicate functions as an agent for cartoonists and comic strip creators, placing the cartoons and strips 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. A syndicate can annually receive thousands of submissions from which only two or three might be selected for representation. The leading strip syndicates include King Features Syndicate, Universal Press Syndicate, United Media, the Washington Post Writers Group, Creators Syndicate, NI Syndication (www.nisyndication.com) and Tribune Media Services.
