Tom the Dancing Bug

This is a great comic that I read every week on Salon. It's also published in the LA Weekly and the Village Voice and other alternative newspapers read by sensible people who appreciate quality writing.

Anyway, the mysterious and elusive cartoonist goes by the name Ruben Bolling, but that's a pseudonym...Salon has a very intriguing interview with him today, revealing that he has a day job as a banker and does the cartooning on the side. Very peculiar.

But I highly recommend checking out some of these comics. Even if the first one or two you read don't strike you as hilarious, give a few a try to get into the sense of humor. They're really odd and post-modern and clever, and there aren't really any duds or off-weeks.
