Early Life
Subitzky was born in and grew up in Mount Vernon, New York, just outside of New York City. As a child he read a wide variety of comic books, and Mad magazine. He was greatly influenced by the work of Harvey Kurtzman and to a lesser extent that of Will Elder, both of whom he met briefly in Mount Vernon when he was about 12 years old.
He was educated at what is now Binghamton University, where he was a math major who also took many philosophy courses.
A few years later he moved into Manhattan, and took cartooning classes at the School of Visual Arts, or SVA. The classes were taught by Bob Blechman and Charles Slackman.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“A two-year-old can be taught to curb his aggressions completely if the parents employ strong enough methods, but the achievement of such control at an early age may be bought at a price which few parents today would be willing to pay. The slow education for control demands much more parental time and patience at the beginning, but the child who learns control in this way will be the child who acquires healthy self-discipline later.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“I see a man’s life is a tedious one.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
