We speak with award winning Cartoonist and Illustrator Chris Weyant. His work can regularly be seen in the Boston Globe and The New Yorker, and syndicated world wide. Chris has also illustrated incredible children's books, including the best seller “You are (Not) Small” (written by his wife Anna Kang). Listen in as we discuss how he found humor and satire, decided to (Not) be a lawyer, and made the jump into cartoons and illustration. It's a wonderful story about how you really can take a dream and make it your life's work. Chris and his wife Anna's newest children's book: “Hudson and Tullulah Take Sides” is due May 1, 2021. Listen up!
Ambrose J. Small was a wealthy theater manager who disappeared without a trace on the evening of December 2, 1919 near one of his theaters in Toronto, Ontario. There was no shortage of theories and possibilities as to what happened. Was it the long-suffering wife? The obsessive, clingy mistress? The secretary who had robbed him? Or someone else?
