Wild Toronto, Collector’s Edition

From our archives, the wild and wonderful comic series by Rosemary Mosco, in its entirety.

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).

Toronto Bands Explode in Halifax

We hit up the Halifax Pop Explosion to see if top-notch Toronto acts are as adored by East Coast audiences as they are at home.

This time, instead of looking across the Pacific pond for feel-good fuzzies, Torontoist only had [...]

Wild Toronto: Impatiens

Wild Toronto is a bi-weekly comic strip about the animals and plants that make a living in our city. Due to a lot of big (good!) changes, this is my last Wild Toronto comic. I’m really sad to have to go. Thanks so much for reading and for your insightful comments. Enjoy your wild spaces, [...]
