Back to the beginning, where it all started. Volume 1 of Tom the Dancing Bug collects the comic strips from 1990 to 1994! 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, as well as being a two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist. “Behold the wondrous, whimsical, witty world that is Tom the Dancing Bug ! If you're someone who's not a fan of potent political humor with an incisive absurdist twist that's not only consistently funny, but downright therapeutic for an ailing world, I suggest you avoid this book like the plague. For everyone else, it's a MUST-READ!” —Mark Hamill "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!" —Seth Meyers “Delve into the dementia, the dread, and the delightfulness of  Tom the Dancing Bug— it’s history through the lens of a self-loathing insomniac. In a way, it’s all of us.” —Patton Oswalt "[Mr. Bolling] is unanimously considered one of the greatest cartoonists in the known universe. How he would rank in that other part of the universe is, of course, a matter that’s still being hotly debated within the scientific community.”  —“Weird Al” Yankovic “God bless  Tom the Dancing Bug ! Funny, succinct, and highly original, Ruben Bolling is able to make sense from the chaos and tragedy of America's political nightmares and make you laugh while doing it. An increasingly rare and more difficult feat these extra bleak days. This is worth your time and money. Do it!” —David Cross  Ruben Bolling  is the author of  Tom the Dancing Bug , the weekly comic strip seen by millions across the world and internet. In 2020, Clover Press launched its  Complete Tom the Dancing Bug  program, starting with the seventh volume,  Into the Trumpverse , covering the years 2016-2019 (Bolling releases compilation books the way George Lucas released Star Wars movies).
