  1. Great timing–I was just going to mail Creators a submission 🙂

  2. Seeing that Copley never really had much success with comic strips, this merger won’t make that much different.

    Really, the only hit Copley ever picked up was “Pooch Cafe,” and that didn’t become a success until after Gilligan switched to Universal Press.

    They had better success with editorial cartoons, tho…

  3. I suppose that fewer competitors in the syndication of editorial cartoons is a good thing. Creators certainly has a lot of editorial cartoonists to juggle now.
