Sandra Bell-Lundy’s Between Friends! celebrates 20 years in syndication
Skip to comments
Between Friends! creator Sandra Bell-Lundy is celebrating 20 years in syndication with a previous four self-syndicating her strip.
This month is the 20th anniversary of syndication for Between Friends! Actually, I’ve been creating my strip for 24 years. From 1990 to 1994, I self-syndicated my comic to a number of southern Ontario newspapers: The St. Catharines Standard, The Brantford Expositor and the Hamilton Spectator as well a few other weekly newspapers. But…in February of 1994, Between Friends was launched internationally in 31 newspapers by King Features. It now appears in nearly 175 newspapers worldwide.
It’s a little hard to believe I’ve been creating my comic for all that time. When I was first launched, my husband was in a panic. He kept asking me if I would be able to keep coming up with ideas indefinitely. I kept telling him not to worry. I’m not saying there haven’t been some frantic times when I wondered if I was done…if there just wasn’t anything else left for me to say…but taking a little time off to have some fun with family or friends always seemed to recharge my battery.
Congratulations, Sandra!
