He worked odd jobs, including stints at a dot com startup, scientific non-profit, medical billing and medical research companies. During this time he started the Something Positive webcomic, in response to a criticism from his friend, voice actress Clarine Harp, that he should "do something positive" with his life. The protagonist in this comic, Davan, is loosely based on Milholland and the stories are often inspired by real life experiences. Davan's best friend Aubrey Chorde is based on Harp. In June 2004, faced with increasing complaints about his lateness in updating the comic, Milholland challenged his readership to donate enough money to pay for a year of his salary so that he could quit his job and become a full-time cartoonist. [2] [5] [6] To his surprise, this amount was reached and surpassed in less than a month, making Milholland one of the successful pioneers of micropatronage. Since then, his webcomic has expanded into many realms of merchandising. [7] [8] Milholland has relocated to Texas and travels the con circuit frequently. He also sometimes performs in community theater, especially children's theater. In 2017, he moved to Georgia. [9] Comics. Something Positive. Something Positive 1937.

Delicious Fruit Pies. Back in the 1970s and 1980s the Hostess™ snack company had a long-running ad campaign, with story pages produced by the comic book companies themselves. They appeared in comic books published by Marvel, DC, Gold Key, Archie, and Harvey. The Marvel and DC ads, featuring prominent superhero characters, would normally have plots along the lines of: Villain comes in, starts ruining everyone's fun. The villain is typically a ridiculously themed one created specifically for that ad. Hero pops up. Hero gives villain delicious Hostess Fruit Pies/Ding-Dongs/Oreos in exchange for being turned in, or to distract the villain long enough to be captured. Villain complies, not being able to resist the real fruit filling. (optional) "Everybody Laughs" Ending. (The non-Marvel/DC ads generally appeared in humor books, which allowed for more variety in their plots.) As well as the "villain causes trouble, hero averts trouble with Twinkies" plot, there was also the plot that the villain would simply try to steal the treats himself, and either be defeated outright, or be defeated by the very confections he was coveting. One Superman story, "The Spy", illustrates how silly these stories could get. It begins with a reporter discovering Clark Kent's secret closet with his Superman costume (and a spare). Superman himself sees the reporter snooping, and refills the closet with Hostess Fruit Pies before the reporter reveals his "big scoop." While DC and Marvel let their superheroes shill shamelessly for Hostess products, one action was curiously "over the line": the heroes could never be shown actually eating Hostess products. Supporting characters like Lois Lane and Mary Jane Watson were apparently exempt from this rule, though, and other publishers' characters (e.g., shameless capitalist Richie Rich) could chomp away freely. The Hostess ads are the most numerous and infamous of the type, but other advertisers got into the act occasionally (e.g. four Marvel and DC heroes shilling for the "Magic Snake" puzzle). Because of their absurdity, even by the standards of superhero comics, this is a Dead Horse Trope nowadays, subverted and parodied far more often than played straight.

Dexter's Laboratory had a segment with Captain Americalook-a-like Major Glory and his "Justice Fruit Pies". Mathemagician : Not Justice Fruit Pies! The Delicious treat you'd have to be crazy to hate! Oooh, I give up! Order of the Stick did a parody in this comic strip. Believe it or not, this was done to one of Terry Pratchett'sDiscworld novels against his will by his old German publisher: Terry: There were a number of reasons for switching to Goldmann, but a deeply personal one for me was the way Heyne (in Sourcery, I think, although it may have been in other books) inserted a soup advert in the text . a few black lines and then something like 'Around about now our heroes must be pretty hungry and what better than a nourishing bowl'. etc, etc. My editor was pretty sick about it, but the company wouldn't promise not to do it again, so that made it very easy to leave them. They did it to Iain Banks, too, and apparently at a con he tore out the offending page and ate it. Without croutons."
