The '''United Feature Syndicate''' was one of the leading NewspaperComic services for its eight decades of existence. It was formed in 1931 when the Pulitzers' ''New York World'' newspaper was acquired by Scripps-Howard (owners of the ''New York Telegram''), which also gained control of the paper's syndication arm (known as Press Publishing Corporation). Scripps' San Francisco-based Newspaper Enterprise Association was kept as a secondary agency.

While playing "second fiddle" to Creator/KingFeaturesSyndicate, UFS nevertheless made serious comic strip stars, be they [[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} a "blockhead" kid and his dog]], [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} a gluttonous, lazy and dog-hating cat]] or [[ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}} an atypical office droid]].

Known as '''United Media''' since 1978 (with both UFS and NEA being under one management), the syndicates were acquired by Universal Press Syndicate in 2011 (now known as Universal Uclick), with their features being transferred to Universal.
