Who IS TR Miller, Cartoonist? Good question. Unfortunately,
this is a question that can barely be answered. TR garnered a reputation
as a very eccentric cartoonist. He was most active around the middle 90's,
sending his Luhey cartoons to almost any 'zine mentioned in FactSheet Five.
He'd usually send off one or two of his Luhey 'zines which were filled
with his one panel 'toons and give his permission to use any toons
desired. Kind of a "shotgun" approach to cartooning. So now you're
asking, "who is Luhey?" Well, this is a little easier to answer. Luhey (pronounced
"Louey") is one of Miller's two dogs. For whatever reason, TR has chosen
Luhey the Lhasa apso as his cartoon raison d'etre (poor Willy,
the Maltese, has been ignored completely). Luhey, above all other
things, loves to celebrate holidays, as well as life's simple pleasures.
One would be hard-pressed to say that Miller's 'toons are funny (at least,
not intentionally). His cartoons are more like droll fortune cookie fortunes
that are given to diners of a psychiatric halfway house cafeteria. After
causing a minor stir among 'zine readers, Miller seems to have burned-out
around 1996 and went into self-imposed retirement of sorts. Here
are a few known facts about TR Miller, Cartoonist:
