Hey, BoingBoing has a write up about the new book, Tom the Dancing Bug: Eat the Poor. I urge you to check it out — lots of free samples.

This week’s Classic Tom the Dancing Bug (published on GoComics yesterday) is News of the Times: “U.S. Recalls Thousands of Bombs” (2007).
Remember when the U.S. was the global superpower bombing the cities, towns, and villages of other countries?
—
And this week the GoComics Super-Fun-Pak Comix page has featured comics from this installment (from 2016).

Hey, I’m thrilled about the brand new book, and I’m excited to be signing, sketching and sending each one of these books out to its forever home. Join the fun.
And stay well,
Your friend indeed,

The Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program continues with its brand new addition:
Volume 5 - Tom the Dancing Bug: Eat the Poor (June, 2022)!!
TOM THE DANCING BUG: EAT THE POOR, VOLUME 5 IN THE COMPLETE TOM THE DANCING BUG -- 2007-2011. Clover Press’s Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program marches on with the fifth chronological volume (and third volume published to date), covering every installment of the award-winning (and two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist) comic strip, from 2007-2011. This volume covers the years of Obama’s election and The Great Recession, with a particular focus on Lucky Ducky, "the Poor Little Duck Who’s Rich in Luck.” But the topics also range far from the political and topical, into waffle irons, drunk shirtless guys, and particle accelerators.
And of course, it also features Tom the Dancing Bug favorites like God-Man, Super-Fun-Pak Comix, Billy Dare, Boy Adventurer, and Charley the Australopithecine. It also includes other comics Ruben Bolling created during those years: a Recession-themed comic created for Harper’s Magazine; and the legendary, insane Toy Story/Cormac McCarthy mashup he did for The Village Voice.
The back cover of Tom the Dancing Bug: Eat the Poor:
Order any of the Complete Tom the Dancing Bug books directly from me (with the “SIGNED/SKETCHED OFFERS” here’s the link again), and I’ll sign the book(s) and draw an illustration in it/them.
AND you will get a signed bookmark with your copy of Eat the Poor. You’ll also get corresponding signed bookmarks with any of the other books, but only while supplies last. Who doesn’t love bookmarks?
