Ep. #45 Tony Wolf: “Tales From The Wolf”

Tell Me What You’re Reading

My friend Tony Wolf and I discussed “Tales From The Wolf”, Tony’s memoir about his years living in Greenpoint, and including a compilation of his New York Times “food cartoon” features, his superhero stories, a moving 9/11 tribute, and Trump era political cartoons. “Tales From The Wolf” can be purchased here. Tony is a cartoonist, an actor (including on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), a singer, film director, and illustrator. He’s essentially a storyteller, a journalist at heart. Tony’s website. We discussed Tony’s cartooning journey from the time he was a young child, his cartoonist role models, and how he “unwittingly created a new genre in the New York Times food section … a whole new world of visual comics about food.” This is one wide ranging discussion, longer than my usual but great fun. Hope you enjoy it. “Tell Me What You’re Reading”, wherever you listen to podcasts. #bookwormsinthewild
