Lee Salem, who developed or edited risk-taking comic strips such as “Calvin and Hobbes,” “Doonesbury,” and “The Boondocks,” has died at age 73.
“I think I’m biased, but he’ll go down as the greatest newspaper syndicate editor in the history of our industry,” said Glynn. The cultural significance of the comics he edited and launched over the course of four decades is unrivaled, he added.Salem, who retired in 2014, was also known for coming to the defense of his cartoonists and giving them the creative liberty to do what they pleased, even when controversies arose or they pushed social conventions.
Part of Salem’s legacy was his championing of diverse voices and perspectives, or as Alcaraz put it, “making minority voices in the comic’s pages not seem as isolated and oddball and different.”Advertisement In the course of his career, Salem was also at the forefront of returning intellectual property from syndicates back to cartoonists. Perhaps the best known case involved Bill Watterson, author of “Calvin and Hobbes.”
