This may have something to do with her passing:

Once appearing in more than 250 newspapers in the United States and abroad at its peak in the 1950s, "Brenda Starr" bows out after 70 1/2 years — the last 65 as a seven-day-a-week strip — still running online and in about three dozen newspapers around the world, including the Chicago Tribune, Boston Herald and The Star of Malaysia.

Compared to, e.g.:
Dilbert appears in 2000 newspapers worldwide in 65 countries and 25 languages.[2]
