Missed It: Thomas Thornton to Leave Andrews McMeel After 33 Years

The newspaper and journalism business magazine Editor and Publisher has an interview with Andrews and McMeel's President, CEO, and COO Tom Thornton up on their site, subscribers only. Thornton plans to leave the publisher at the end of 2005, news that until now has escaped me.

Under Thornton's guidance, Andrews McMeel has developed into a strip collections powerhouse so dominant I'm not sure how many people know that other publishers handle such material. Here's a quality story from a Kansas City business magazine. Thornton, also a vice president at Andrews McMeel Universal, will be 55. He plans to consult. One of his signature decisions noted by the business new article was the massively successful Far Side collection (pictured), the stunning success of which has led to this year's hotly anticipated Calvin and Hobbes book of similar ambition.
