United Feature Syndicate

United Feature Syndicate is a company that licenses and distributes comic strips, newspaper columns, puzzles, and other content to newspapers and media outlets. Founded in 1919, it helps creators share their work with a broad audience by handling the business side—such as licensing, rights management, and distribution—so that newspapers and websites can easily publish popular features like Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, or Dilbert. Essentially, it acts as a middleman connecting talented creators with publishers, ensuring content reaches diverse audiences while managing legal and contractual details.
