Said King Features Syndicate Inc. and Syndicate shall have all of the exclusive rights in and to the Commissioned Material that are accorded by law to the author of an original work and to the proprietor of a duly copyrighted work.
King Features realizes that the artist will have other illustration work, and they may fear that the artist may fail to deliver if the other work is more lucrative.
