About

Mike Young is a cartoonist, teacher, and glasses-wearer based in New York City.

I am excited to launch this project, “Robot Teacher,” a comic strip that follows the misadventures of a robot designed to be the greatest educator of all time! This project is the latest in a series of cartooning initiatives I have launched over the years. Previously, I have developed:

• comic books
• humor magazines
• caricatures
• comics travelogues
• children’s books
• TV show pitches

I am currently a High School Visual Arts teacher and find inspiration from interacting with students. In a sense, this comic bridges two of my passions – teaching and art – into something completely new. 

Why am I launching this now?

• By keeping a blog, I can share my work with an online audience, hopefully entertain, and receive your feedback! 
• I would love to connect with other creators, artists, and educators, if this comic resonates with you
• To gain a widespread, global audience!

I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. While I have branched out into other media over the years, it’s been a long time since I have created an ongoing comic strip. In a sense, this is me returning to my roots, going back to basics, as the kid who read the comic strips in the newspaper every day and dreamed of becoming a comic strip artist.
