| 3 | Andrews-[=McMeel=] Publishing is a newspaper syndicate founded in 1970 by Jim Andrews and John [=McMeel=] as the Universal Press Syndicate. It is an offshoot of an informal agency run by both men during the mid- and late-1960s, distributing content to the "religion page" of many newspapers. |

| 5 | It quickly gained recognition by publishing a serialized account of war crimes in Vietnam and for picking up a comic on the ''Yale Times'' called ''Bull Tales'', drawn by Garry Trudeau, which was retooled into ''ComicStrip/{{Doonesbury}}''. For decades, Universal Press became known for giving its cartoonists more creative freedom than its competitors, giving way to features like ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' and ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' among others. |

| 7 | In 2009 the syndicate became known as Universal Uclick after it merged with its digital division, and two years later it acquired Creator/UnitedFeatureSyndicate from Scripps-Howard. In 2017 the Universal Uclick brand was replaced by the Andrews-[=McMeel=] Publishing name. |
