As of today, July 1, the historic United Media is officially shutterinig its Madison Avenue doors. "Peanuts" and "Dilbert" recently took their fortunes to Universal Uclick in Kansas City, and then, early this year, the other shoe dropped: United Media announced that come June, it would outsource its newspaper features to Universal, ceasing to operate as a full-service syndicate and developer of talent. The Madison Avenue castle is dead. Long live the queen.
