Cartoonist and comedian, Greg Nussbaum joins us on the second half of the podcast this week. Greg is a fairly new cartoonist, his first cartoon in the New Yorker was in the Dec. 2, 2024 issue. Since then, he has had one other cartoon and a Daily published.
Greg is also a standup comedian. You can see him performing around Brooklyn and Manhattan. We talk about his "baby raised by firetrucks" routine during the podcast and if you want to see the image we talk about, you can find it on the podcast facebook page:
