Conley was born in Concord, Massachusetts
in 1970, and grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee

His first cartoons appeared in the Doyle High Trailblazer, his school paper in Knoxville, Tennessee. His single-panel strip of weirdness won him first place in a News-Sentinel student cartoon competition in 1986, thus planting the idea of someday becoming a professional cartoonist.
He went on to earn a Fine Arts and Art History degree from Amherst College
in Massachusetts, continuing to improve his Far Side
clones for the Amherst Student, graduating in 1994.
