  1. With the cancellation of VeeFriends, does this mean Lee Enterprises newspapers can get a new deal with Andrews-McMeel strips and keep the King Features strip rights for its unified comics pages?

    1. I would be interested to know if Lee Ent. is paying Vee Inc., if Vee Inc. is paying Lee Ent., or if there are no fees being exchanged to print the comic strip on the bottom half of every Lee Sunday weather page (free content for free publicity).

  2. That’s an awfully low number of cartoons to pull reruns from…

    1. 16 comic books (so far) at 24 pages/book (#16) divided by 2 equals almost four years of weekly VeeFriends to Lee papers.

      1. It’s hard to find the physical VeeFriends comic book at comic shops.
