Boing Boing’s Mark Frauenfelder was kind enough to include me in his post suggesting book gifts: “An anti-boring book guide: six great gift picks.”
” ‘It’s the Great Storm, Tom the Dancing Bug!’ by Ruben Bolling will have you chuckling over the downfall of western democracy through sharp satirical comics featuring beloved characters like Lucky Ducky and the Smythe family of Chagrin Falls. The collection showcases Bolling’s award-winning work, which has been delighting readers weekly on Boing Boing for over a decade.”
I understand that to be sure there was no bias in this recommendation of a book by Boing Boing’s own cartoonist who also occasionally writes for the site, Mark read the entire book blindfolded.
You can find out how to buy “It’s the Great Storm, Tom the Dancing Bug!,” as well as other Tom the Dancing Bug books, HERE.
