This is Mike King, also known as “Dr. Mike.” He’s a pediatric dentist who uses jokes and magic tricks to entertain his patients. He wrote this story because even though Flossopher and Cavidorg are made-up characters, the cavity bugs are not. And he’s determined to outwit them. He writes screenplays and does stand-up comedy in New York City, where he lives with his wife, Sophie, and their daughter, Annabelle.
