Milliken’s first association with ”Punch” occurred on 2 January 1875 with a few lines entitled “A Voice from Venus”, that [[Venus transit#1874 and 1882|planet’s transit]] having just taken place. This was his first contribution and, since he was a newcomer, he was asked for an assurance that he was indeed the author. From then on his contributions were regular and he was welcomed to the staff in early 1877.

Milliken was trained for, and spent the beginning of his career, with a large engineering firm. The literary world, though, was always his first love and his contributions to a few magazines and journals initially satisfied this bent. His first accredited work was a memorial poem to [[Charles Dickens]] printed in ”[[The Gentleman’s Magazine]]” in 1870.
