Martin Siegel
Show BioHide BioMartin Siegel, an associate professor emeritus of marketing at the University of Akron, does the single panel satirical cartoon, “Martino.” Subsequent to the University of Akron, and for more than a decade, Martin has been a graphic design, writing and editing consultant for an educational services provider. In a fun manner, the president of this company would use the moniker Martino in email correspondence. Thus the title. Before entering academe, Martin was a creative director in NYC advertising. Having an MA degree and what was termed “real world experience” qualified him for the post. Martin lives in Silver Lake, Ohio, near both Akron and Cleveland. He has two grown daughters and two grandchildren. His biggest thrill was seeing the New York Yankees play at the original Yankee Stadium as a child. In those days you could walk on the field after the game. Each step, whether first or third base, or the pitcher's rubber or home plate, was sacred.
