Wiley Miller Biography

David Wiley Miller (born April 15, 1951, Burbank, California) is an American cartoonist whose work is characterized by wry wit and trenchant social satire, is best known for his comic strip Non Sequitur, which he signs Wiley. Non Sequitur is the only cartoon to win National Cartoonists Society Divisional Awards in both the comic strip and comic panel categories, and Miller is the only cartoonist to win an NCS Divisional Award in his first year of syndication.

A California native, Wiley studied art at Virginia Commonwealth University and worked for several Hollywood educational film studios before relocating to North Carolina in 1976 to work as an editorial cartoonist and staff artist for the Greensboro News & Record. In 1978, Wiley was hired by the Santa Rosa, California “Press Democrat” as staff artist and editorial cartoonist. Fenton (1982) was his first syndicated strip. In 1985, he was hired as an editorial cartoonist at the San Francisco Examiner.

Wiley was named Best Editorial Cartoonist by the California Newspaper Publishers Association in 1988 and won the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for editorial cartooning in 1991. The National Cartoonists Society honored Non Sequitur with four awards in the first six years of publication, including their Newspaper Panel Cartoon Award for 1995, 1996 and 1998, and it was nominated for the same award in 1999 and 2002 and won their Newspaper Comic Strip Award for 1992.

In 1991, Wiley launched his popular Non Sequitur strip, eventually syndicated to 700 newspapers as well as published on Go Comics and distributed via email. The strip has a history of politically leaning, but more recently it has been a much more traditional strip with recurring characters. In 1994, Miller pioneered the use of process color in comic strips, and developed a format in 1995 that allows one cartoon to be used in two different ways for both panel dimensions and strip dimensions.

Non Sequitur is the only comic strip to win its division during the first year of publication, and it is the only comic feature to win in two divisions, Best Comic Strip for 1992 and Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon for 1995, 1996 and 1998.

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. He explained the relocation to Stephanie Bouchard of the Maine Sunday Telegram:

In January 2012, the Non Sequitur character Danae is shown editing her own Wikipedia page in creative ways.

As of 2016, Wiley Miller and his family had moved yet again, and were no longer residing in Maine, but were living in Palmetto, Georgia.

In February 2019 many newspapers canceled their subscriptions to Non Sequitur after the Sunday comic dated February 10, 2019 included a hidden profane message aimed at President Trump. As of February 14, at least 40 newspapers said they were dropping Non Sequitur, including the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe and the Chicago Tribune. Miller said the Trump comment was an oversight, something he had forgotten about and had intended to remove. However, The Hill noted that he had teased the strip in a now-deleted tweet pointing out an “Easter egg” in the image.
