Then that friend fell off and I ran over her with the tube before going all the way down and nearly going into the little pond across the driveway before I was able to stop. Good times. #adamlmillerart #mayllenial

#Mayllennial Day 31: School Field Trip I wonder if my elementary school was underfunded, I remember we walked to our city’s children’s zoo because it was maybe 10 minutes away. Another time we walked to a pizza chain restaurant, we got to make our own pizzas. I thought the walking part was fun!
A 2-panel comic about school field trips. A professor devil stands in front of his group, “Okay kids, keep track of your walking buddies!” His wife who accompanies him shows off their clasped hands to tell the others to hold hands for safety. 

“Sure hope get to do fun stuff like this again soon,” a devil says to their walking buddy, “You said it,” he responds. 

Behind them two short devils are walking with a tall devil. “Heh heh, don’t be so dramatic! Time to go back,” one of the short devils says as she tries to pull the tall devil forward. “Noooo! Just leave me here, where there’s no work…” the tall devil says back, the third devil is behind her, playfully pushing her forward. “Sorry ma’am, duty calls!”

In the second panel my namesake character, Surge, and his editor are shown. She looks at him with an unimpressed expression, his eyes are completely shadowed over. They have an exchange, the editor begins:

“That it?”
“Yup.”
“Last year’s 31st was better.”
“Sure was.”

Day 31 - school field trip I was a mature student on an art course at college. Our trip was a week in Berlin. One highlight was the film museum in which there was a Ray Harry Hausen exhibition of models from his films. Here's a few pictures from my sketchbook. #mayllenial

#Mayllennial Day 30: AOL/MSN Messenger I didn’t really use these messaging services because I didn’t start using the internet for communication until like 2006, and by then I was just using Myspace to talk to my pals. I remember instant messaging being a massive deal though!
A 2-panel comic of 2 devils talking through AOL Instant Messenger. The two usernames are NUmanMETAL444 and AbeFreaklon. For the convenience of alt text, I will be spelling their shorthand properly and grouping multiple messages into to together where appropriate.

Their exchange begins with AbeFreaklon messaging first:
“Who warned you this time?”
“I don’t know, laugh out loud.”
“You need to chill, man, for real for real.”
“No one likes my awesome jokes… HATERS.”
“Yeah, that’s the reason. They ain’t tired of you yapping at all.”
“You are my number one hater, bro. AS ALWAYS, SHAKING MY HEAD.”
“Whatever, laugh out loud. Stop harassing people online.”
“Well, good thing you are online now, so I have someone to give all my attention to. Winking face. So whatcha think about the mixtape? It got you thinkin’ about me all day?”

An automated response is triggered because AbeFreaklon has set himself to away, the message reads, “Death came for us all, now get back to work, chop chop.”

The user going by AbeFreaklon has turned away from his computer, embarrassed and annoyed that the other user has accurately called out his behavior so easily. “S-so what if I was, you big goofy lug…” he mutters to himself. On the other side of the conversation the user NUmanMETAL444 takes note of AbeFreaklon’s sudden status change. “Ohhhh. Well then,” he breathily says to himself as he stops eating potato chips.

#Mayllennial Day 29: 90’s Cartoons / Anime My first ever OC was a kitbash of anime and video games I saw parodies of on Newgrounds. They’ll always have a special place in my heart, right with Trigun and Dragon Ball 💙
A 2-panel comic about 90’s anime and its influence on my art. My very first OC, Jack, strikes a pose with their massive sword. A group of unspecified voices comment on the character design. They go as such:

“D’aww, it’s you again!”
“Such a cheery feller!” 
“You know, your hair looks like Vash’s from Trigun.”
“Except that one bang, looks like Super Saiyan 2 Gohan!”
“You think that’s supposed to be Gut’s sword?”
“Nah, he was too young to watch that.”

Two voices have an exchange:
“The bandanna, where’s it from?”
“Gotta be Metal Gear Solid.”
“Hey, that’s not anime!”
“Isn’t it?”
“Uh… no?”

Jack, now a devil in a story that’s far removed from their origin, is flustered to be the subject of this year’s Mayllennial anime prompt. “W-why me again?! You bit anime for them too,” she says to me, the artist, directly while pointing at two devils at the other side of the panel.

The short devil says, “He can’t name MY character to save his life!” Their long hair is a reference to some Gundam Wing character; they had a long ponytail and I thought that was cool. The large, stocky devil adds, “And I’m actually Chip Hazard!” Major Chip Hazard is the white-haired leader of the Commando Elite in Small Soldiers.

Day 30 - AOL/MSN Messaging Now to the office. Messenger was an excellent communication tool for work colleagues. My desk was never that tidy. #mayllenial
A picture of an office set in the early 2000s. There is a desk with a monitor on a stand, with a keyboard in front. On the left there is a diary with a pen holder, and two yellow sticky notes on the board attached to the desk. On the right there is a computer mouse sat on a blue mat. The background show desk height cupboards with a white tray and three mugs.

#Mayllenial Day 28 - The Toy That Got Away I didn't really have a toy that got away, but I never had a console and distinctly remember the game Battalion Wars. Turns out the game doesn't look much like I remember it looking like, so I drew something closer to what I remember.
A cartoonish tank rides along on a dirt road. The tank commander stands in the hatch and excitedly points into the distance.

#Mayllennial Day 28: The Toy That Got Away “Each set sold separately” became a phrase of disappointment and heartbreak the moment I saw Bionicle 😭 Please bring them back. I still don’t have the money to buy all the sets, but now I can take out credit cards and pretend I do!
A 2-panel comic of loss in the toy aisle. A lady devil leans forward as she points an accusatory finger, I knew I’d find you over here! Put those back! You have enough of those other toys in your office. And you can’t even look at them in that plastic jug, they’ll have no value as soon as you open them!”

The view changes to the person she’s talking to, it’s her husband. He stands there with sad, pleading eyes as he carries six Bionicle figures in his arms. “That’s not going to help you today, sweetness,” she tells him as he tries to silently convince her to change her mind. 

A moment of silence goes by.

And another. 

And yet another.

“ONE,” she sternly tells him.

Day 29 - 90s Cartoons/Anime It was only a matter of time before one of these was focused on Dragon Ball Z, another one of my longtime favorites. I didn't get to draw my favorite character (Broly) but I absolutely love Buu, so it's okay. #adamlmillerart #dragonballz #mayllenial

Day 29 - 90s cartoons/anime Count Duckula, a vegetarian vampire duck accompanied by servants Egor and Nanny, were the stars of a British animated show created by Cosgrove Hall Productions. It was for kids but I watched it when I came home from work. Great cast and great humour. #mayllenial

#Mayllennial Day 27: Dial-Up Internet When I started using the internet dial-up was almost out the door. I remember seeing piles of AOL discs with minutes on them, they made me think Xbox Live worked like that at first. Like you paid for a month’s worth of minutes, not unlimited use for a month.
A devil sits at his desk waiting for his computer to connect to the internet via dial up. He listens to the initiation process reacts to it: first uninterested, then curious about all the unique sounds, surprised by the wall of white noise/static, then finally unenthused by the comically timed, “Welcome! You’ve got mail!”

Day 28 - The Toy that Got Away Ever since I was a little kid, I always wanted a Megazord toy. Not just any one, one that was the five Zords, and you could combine them. But I was never able to find one, and even if I had... I had no money. BUT I DO NOW #adamlmillerart #powerrangers #mayllenial
