[1] [] Date: 2024-06-18 I’m proud to announce that the newest volume in The Complete Tom the Dancing Bug book program is due to be released by Clover Press next month, on July 24, 2024. Volume 8 is IT’S THE GREAT STORM, TOM THE DANCING BUG!, and I’m now taking pre-orders for signed/sketched/swagged copies of this book. These will be signed, etc. and sent out in the order of purchase, so buy yours today and get to the head of the queue! From Clover Press’s promotional copy for the book: Clover Press’s Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program bursts forward with the eighth chronological volume, covering all of the most recent installments of the comic strip, a two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist, from 2020-2023. It’s the Great Storm, Tom the Dancing Bug! includes Bolling’s award-winning work covering the last year of the Trump presidency and the post-term MAGA insanity. All the favorite Tom the Dancing Bug characters try to make sense of the dark times of the early 2020s, including: the Smythe family of Chagrin Falls; Lucky Ducky, the poor little duck who’s rich in luck; and Billy Dare, boy adventurer. Also in the volume is Bolling’s comic contribution to “Weird Al” Yankovic’s hit graphic novel, The Illustrated Al. Tom the Dancing Bug is the wildly popular, groundbreaking comic strip that has won multiple awards, including the Herblock Prize, the Berryman Award, and a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award. Mark Hamill called it “wondrous, whimsical, and witty,” and Seth Meyers recently wrote, “The fact that Tom the bug can keep dancing in this day and age is a testament to Ruben Bolling’s skills as a cartoonist!” — You’ll be able to purchase the book in bookstores, at online retailers like Amazon, and from the publisher, Cover Press.
