Universal Press Syndicate : ウィキペディア英語版 | Universal Press Syndicate Universal Press Syndicate, a subsidiary of Andrews McMeel Universal, was an independent press syndicate. It distributed lifestyle and opinion columns, comic strips and other content. Popular columns include Dear Abby, Ann Coulter, Roger Ebert and News of the Weird. Founded in 1970, it was merged in July 2009 with Uclick (which published its comics on GoComics) to form Universal Uclick.〔(Gardner, Alan. "Universal Press Syndicate and Uclick Merge". The Daily Cartoonist, July 8, 2009. )〕 ==History== Universal Press Syndicate was founded by John McMeel and Jim Andrews in 1970, two graduates of Notre Dame. Their early syndication success came as a result of Andrews reading the ''Yale Daily News''. While clipping a column by a priest, he was distracted by Garry Trudeau's ''Bull Tales'' comic strip on the facing page. When Trudeau's ''Doonesbury'' debuted as a daily strip in two dozen newspapers on October 26, 1970, it was the first strip from Universal Press Syndicate, and a Sunday strip was launched March 21, 1971. Circulation of ''Doonesbury'' eventually expanded to more than 1,400 newspapers internationally.〔("Doonesbury: Drawing and Quartering for Fun and Profit". ''Time'', February 9, 1976. )〕 At first, ownership of the strips was in the hands of both the artist and the syndicate, but beginning in 1990, Universal Press gave them full rights to their respective works. The company also instituted a policy that says any cartoonist who has been with them for five years or more receives four weeks a year of vacation.〔(''The Lee Salem Interview'', Hogan's Alley #7 )〕 Along with editorial cartoonists Ben Sargent, Pat Oliphant, Tom Toles, Glenn McCoy, Ted Rall, Matt Davies and Don "Bad Reporter" Asmussen, UPS syndicates crossword puzzles and games edited by Timothy Parker. Universal's international syndication arm, Atlantic Syndication, was founded in 1933 by Evening Post Publishing Company as Editors Press Service. In 2004, Universal acquired Editors Press Service from Evening Post Publishing Company and renamed it Atlantic Syndication.〔(Gardner, Alan. "Atlantic Syndication Combines with Universal Uclick".
