| General info : | | Wiley Miller (born in 1951 in Burbank, California, USA) is an American cartoonist.
Born in Burbank he grew up in Hollywood. He went to high school in Virginia, where he started drawing cartoons for the school's newspaper. He studied at Virginia Commonwealth University and got a job as editorial cartoonist at a North Carolina newspaper in 1976.
Two years later he moved to California again, where he got a comparable job at The Press Democrat, a Santa Rosa newspaper.
By sending drawings Miller doodled on cocktail napkins (which he called "Bartoons") to Playboy, Wiley made his breakthrough. In 1982, he created his first syndicated comic strip, 'Fenton', which ran for three years, after which Wiley returned to editorial cartooning. In 1991, the newspaper comic strip 'Non Sequitur' was born. He used the single-panel format for creating a sequential comic, which was so unique that the strip was soon picked up by newspapers all over the country and gained great popularity. Wiley has helped innovate newspaper comics, not only by experimenting with the comic format, which allowed editors more space to use comics, but also by helping newspapers find a new way of coloring, which made the Sunday pages look much more vivid.
Books by Miller include Dead Lawyers and Other Pleasant Thoughts (1993), The Non Sequitur Survival Guide for the Nineties (1995), Non Sequitur’s Beastly Things (1999, foreword by Jules Feiffer), The Legal Lampoon (2002), Why We’ll Never Understand Each Other (2003), Lucy and Danae: Something Silly This Way Comes (2005), Homer, the Reluctant Soul (2005) and Extraordinary Adventures Of Ordinary Basil (2006).
In 2004, Wiley Miller, his wife Victoria Coviello, and their four Jack Russell terriers moved from Santa Barbara, California, to Kennebunkport, Maine. | |
