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.

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.

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!"

Softcover, 8-in.x 9-in., 224 pages, full color.
