Other people whose work is handled by the syndicate include Garry Trudeau (whose "Doonesbury" comic strip was "discovered" by founders Jim Andrews and John McMeel) and editorial cartoonist Ben Sargent. The company also distributes comics and columns on the Web through its uclick division and publishes books, calendars, greeting cards, and other items through Andrews McMeel Publishing.
