Lee Salem (July 21, 1946 – September 2, 2019) was an American comic strip editor who worked at Universal Press Syndicate from 1974 until his retirement in 2014. While working at Universal, he helped to develop such highly regarded comic strips as For Better or For Worse, Calvin & Hobbes, and La Cucaracha, in addition to discovering Cathy and The Boondocks. According to the Los Angeles Times, "Beloved by a tight circle of industry artists, Salem’s keen eye for finding talented and idiosyncratic writers and cartoonists lead to the syndication of some of the best and most daring American comic strips of the last quarter of the 20th century."
