    1st printing.

    Story and art by Ruben Bolling.

    Clover Press's Complete Tom the Dancing Bug program streaks forward with the fourth chronological volume, covering every installment of the award-winning (and two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist) comic strip, from 2003-2006.

    This volume includes favorite characters of Tom the Dancing Bug, such as: God-Man, the Omnipotent Superhero; Charley the Australopithecine; Billy Dare, Boy Adventurer; Dinkle, the Un-Lovable Loser; and even the origin of Lucky Ducky. It also includes a special comic Bolling created for Mad Magazine during the covered years: "Educa-Fun."

    Tom the Dancing Bug is the wildly popular, groundbreaking comic strip that Mark Hamill called "wondrous, whimsical, and witty," and that led Seth Meyers to recently write, "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!"

    Softcover, 8-in.x 9-in., 248 pages, full color.

    1st printing.

    Story and art by Ruben Bolling.

    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.

    Softcover, 8-in.x 9-in., 248 pages, full color.

    Cover price $24.99.

    2nd and later printings.

    Story and art by Ruben Bolling. Foreword by Neil Gaiman.

    Tom The Dancing Bug has been running in newspapers for almost 30 years and it remains as timely and poignant as ever. Political commentator and Tom The Dancing Bug creator Ruben Bolling has certainly had plenty of material to work with over the last four years. Into The Trumpverse features more than 200 cartoons covering the political landscape during that time.

    With an introduction by the legendary Neil Gaiman.

    The people singing Bolling's praises, include:

    Mark Hamill: "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!"

    Patton Oswalt: "Delve into the dementia, the dread, and the delightfulness of this collection of Tom the Dancing Bug's strips -- it's history through the lens of a self-loathing insomniac. In a way, it's all of us."

    Seth Meyers: "The fact that Tom the Bug can keep dancing in this day and age is a testament to his skills as a cartoonist!"

    Matt Groening: "Each week Ruben Bolling takes an unassuming little blank white rectangle and fills it up with clever cartoonery, sneaky commentary, and more political laughs than you can shake a stick at. All hail Tom the Dancing Bug!"

    Two Plus One is Enough TPB (2004 AM) A Baby Blues Scrapbook No. 18 1-1ST

    1st printing.

    By Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott.

    Baby Blues is simply our lives on paper. At times it seems more like a home video than a comic strip." By their third child, most folks have parenting figured out and could teach Dr. Spock a thing or two. Yeah, right! Baby Blues is back with even more of the hilarious trials and tribulations of the growing young MacPherson family. Two Plus One Is Enough is another collection of this stupendously popular comic strip, which has millions of fans. Baby Wren is raising the chaos level in the MacPherson household to a new high as Zoe and Hammie compete as only siblings can. Parents Darryl and Wanda somehow keep up their good humor despite a tight budget, their mischievous but adorable older children, and a wailing infant. Precocious Zoe's learning to read-and to point out the inconsistencies in children's books. (For example, after Zoe reads about a bear, Wanda corrects her. "That word is dog, not bear." Zoe, however, astutely observes that the picture looks like a dog: "So which is spelled right? The word or the picture?" Zoe asks.) And Hammie must make sure his baby sister isn't gaining on him, in age or in weight.

    Two Plus One Is Enough offers plenty of laughs from one of America's favorite families.
