Episode #714: Interview with Ruben Bolling – October 12, 2025
Description
This week in Episode #714, Wayne talks with Ruben Bolling, creator of Tom the Dancing Bug, an award-winning comic strip that has explored everything from comic books to religion to politics in its 35 years of running in newspapers and online!
Ruben discusses the first of eight volumes of this groundbreaking creation, which you can sign up now to support on Kickstarter at this link! This project is described this way: “Blending a surreal sense of humor with razor-sharp political satire, Tom the Dancing Bug has delighted fans for decades, and Bolling’s work remains as vital and important as ever. Clover Press’s new collections will give readers a chance to see the strip and Bolling’s art evolve throughout the 1990s.” We discuss how this strip got its start, who some of the various characters are, and what its future may hold! Be sure to listen to this fun and engaging conversation! Be sure to back this project before it concludes in the coming month!
