comic syndicate

A comic syndicate is an organization that produces and distributes comic strips and comic panels to newspapers, websites, and other media outlets. They act as an intermediary between comic creators and publishers, handling the licensing, distribution, and often the marketing of the comics. This allows artists and writers to focus on creating content while the syndicate ensures it reaches a wide audience and manages the business aspects. Essentially, the syndicate helps popularize comic characters and stories across multiple platforms, ensuring both the creators and publishers benefit from the distribution.
