Tom the Dancing Bug

Since 1992, Ruben Bolling has written and drawn Tom the Dancing Bug, a singular comic strip that has run in alternative weeklies and been collected by HarperCollins. Blending surreal humor with sharp political and social satire, Bolling’s creation features a rotating cast of characters and recurring gags that mock everything from corporate culture to the absurdities of modern life. It stands as a long-running, critically admired work of independent comic journalism, often cited for its prescient and witty commentary.
