The company owns and operates several consumer websites, including the comic strip and editorial cartoon site GoComics and the puzzle and casual game sites ThePuzzleSociety.com and UclickGames.com. From January thru July 2009, Andrews McMeel Universal had a series of layoffs due to consolidation of departments and corporate restructuring. This decision affected the uclick division which was later consolidated into the syndicate unit.〔http://economy.kansascity.com/?q=node/2643〕 Uclick content includes comic strips, editorial cartoons, puzzles, casual games, manga, comic books, syndicated columns, photography and illustration.
