TOM THE DANCING BUG AWAKENS, by Ruben Bolling
The Complete Tom the Dancing Bug, Volume 6: 2012-2015
Clover Press continues its Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program by presenting the sixth chronological volume (and second volume published to date), covering every comic from 2012-2015. This volume covers the Obama years and the rise of Trump, and it includes the introduction of the popular feature “Chagrin Falls” and installments of many other Tom the Dancing Bug favorites, such as God-Man, Lucky Ducky, and Super-Fun-Pak Comix. It also includes other comics Ruben Bolling created during those years: a two-page New Yorker spread, and six daily installments of the comic strip Cul de Sac.
