Wild Toronto was a bi-weekly comic strip by Rosemary Mosco that ran on Torontoist from December 2007 to July 2008 (with one last return visit in December 2008). It cleverly observed and taught us about the animals and plants that live in our city, and we are excited to present the entire collection of Wild Toronto comics in one place.
Mosco continues to focus her comic talents on flora and fauna. Her latest work, Bird Sound Mnemonics, is a poster that illustrates the sounds of Eastern North American birds, from the “laa-zyyyy” sounds of the black-throated blue warbler to the alarming call of the indigo bunting.
