What the Duck: Coming to a Paper Near You?
Aaron Johnson follows a 21st century route to syndication.

After starting out as an online strip, What the Duck is set to tackle newsprint as a syndicated strip for Universal Press Syndicate.
As Aaron Johnson’s online comic strip, What the Duck, passed the 200 strip mark in April 2007, we shared our thoughts on the humor and Johnson’s curiously brilliant “business strategy.” Now, just a little over two years after creating five strips on a whim after waking up with the idea of a photographer duck as the star of a comic strip, Johnson has passed the 500-strip mark and newspapers are picking up the comic strip for syndication. There’s a book deal in the works, too; Andrews McMeel is planning a Spring 2009 release of their first collection of What the Duck strips.



That’s right -- the Duck has hit the big time.
