Original DAVE Cartoon "Dave with Ears" by Dave Miller (1995)
Posted by Dave Miller on 04/23/2009
Before I had the pleasure of building and running an Oklahoma City design firm,
I used to draw and write a nationally-syndicated comic strip. The strip
was called DAVE (go figure). The DAVE strip chronicled the life a
20-something single guy. The strip ran from September
1992 through April of 1999 and was syndicated by Tribune Media
Services. The daily strip focused on relationships, work and pop
culture - and ran in over 180 newspapers worldwide. From the Chicago
Tribune to the San Francisco Examiner – from the Dallas Morning News to
the Orlando Sentinel.
I wish I could say that I got out of the
business because I saw the demise of newspaper publishing industry, but
truth is – I got burned out. After nearly 8 years and thousands of
cartoons, I said everything I needed to say. For those who have read my
blog posts before, you'd probably agree. All in all, it was a great
run. I got to do something I always wanted to do…draw little people and
make up stuff for them to say.
Some DAVE cartoon strip career
highlights (besides squeezing a weeks worth of work into a day and a
half for 400 straight weeks) include:
Got to be in a parade in Ohio
Interviewed on TV ... it was cable … cable in Rhode Island – still counts
Had a cartoon published in both of Howard Stern's Books and attended his Private Parts book release party – that could be a whole other blog
DAVE coffee mugs
Breakfast with Charles Schultz
A legitimate 8 year excuse to be a constant wise a**
