ON THE TRAIL OF TOM THE DANCING BUG, by Ruben Bolling The Complete
Tom the Dancing Bug, Volume 3: 1999-2002 Clover Press's Complete
Tom the Dancing Bug program strides confidently ahead with the
third chronological volume, covering every installment of the comic
strip, a two-time Pulitzer Prize Finalist, from 1999-2002. This
volume not only includes the comic strip's favorite formats and
characters, such as Super-Fun-Pak Comix, God-Man, the Omnipotent
Superhero, Charley the Australopithecine, and its cover character
Billy Dare, Boy Adventurer, it also includes the strip's famed and
award-winning urgent turn into political satire following 9/11.
Also in the volume is Ruben Bolling's brief run of monthly
full-page comics for The New Yorker, and a special comic for The
Village Voice on the 2000 Subway World Series. 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!"
Rick and Morty: Pocket Like You Stole It is the fan-favorite comic
book miniseries based on the popular Adult Swim television series
and inspired by the Pocket Mortys mobile game! Morty is on a quest
to free himself (and all the other Mortys) from the clutches of
Ricks, who collect Mortys and force them to battle one another for
schmeckles and glory. Along the way, he'll discover the grisly
history of Morty battling, the dastardly lengths that Ricks are
willing to stoop to in order to win, and perhaps... the strength in
himself that's needed to free the Mortys once and for all?
Among the cultural figures of the Old West, Frederick Remington
stands head and shoulders above the rest-literally. A good-natured
ogre by size and appetite, the artist portrays the West with such
skill that the American government entrusts his safety to Lucky
Luke. Looking after such a national treasure is not usually an easy
task, but Luke will soon discover that Remington hardly needs
protecting-except maybe from his own excessive impulses...
Be prepared to laugh out loud as GARFIELD leads you on a riotous romp through his hilarious haunts. It's a full-color ride of nonstop fun and thrills--with plenty of laughs (and snacks) along the way!

It's no secret that most New Yorker readers flip through the
magazine to look at the cartoons before they ever lay eyes on a
word of the text. But what isn't generally known is that over the
decades a growing cadre of women artists have contributed to the
witty, memorable cartoons that readers look forward to each week.
Now Liza Donnelly, herself a renowned cartoonist with the New
Yorker for more than twenty years, has written this wonderful,
in-depth celebration of women cartoonists who have graced the pages
of the famous magazine from the Roaring Twenties to the present
day. An anthology of funny, poignant, and entertaining cartoons,
biographical sketches, and social history all in one, VeryFunny
Ladies offers a unique slant on 20th-century and early 21st-century
America through the humorous perspectives of the talented women who
have captured in pictures and captions many of the key social
issues of their time. As someone who understands firsthand the
cartoonist's art, Donnelly is in a position to offer distinctive
insights on the creative process, the relationships between artists
and editors, what it means to be a female cartoonist, and the
personalities of the other New Yorker women cartoonists, whom she
has known over the years. Very Funny Ladies reveals
never-before-published material from The New Yorker archives,
including correspondence from Harold Ross, Katharine White, and
many others. In addition, Donnelly has interviewed all of the
living female cartoonists, many of their male counterparts, and
editors and writers: David Remnick,Roger Angell, Lee Lorenz,
Harriet Walden (legendary editor Harold Ross's secretary), Bob
Mankoff, Eldon Dedini, Dana Fradon, Frank Model, Bob Weber, Sam
Gross, Gahan Wilson, Joe Farris, among others. Combining a wealth
of information with an engaging and charming narrative, plus more
than seventy cartoons, along with photographs and self-portraits of
the cartoonists, Very Funny Ladies beautifully portrays the art and
contributions of the brilliant female cartoonists in America's
greatest magazine.
A year's worth of marine-life amusement with the cast and crew of
Sherman's Lagoon. The sharks, turtles, and crabs of Sherman’s
Lagoon enjoy a complex society below the ocean’s surface, with a
local government, school system, and even their own radio station.
And like all advanced cultures, there’s no lack of drama. A
visiting shark oil salesman shows up to hock a strange new elixir,
and later, a consultant arrives to help the laconic locals hone
their killer instincts. When Kahuna feels his powers wane, Sherman
and Hawthorne help the ancient stone deity get his groove back. And
after Sherman and friends hop a flight to see a rocket launch at
the Kennedy Space Center, Hawthorne accidentally goes from
spectator to passenger. Once you dip into these Adventures in
Aquaculture, you’ll want to stay awhile.

From the moment Captain America punched Hitler in the jaw, comic
books have always been political, and whether it is Marvel's
chairman Ike Perlmutter making a campaign contribution to Donald
Trump in 2016 or Marvel's character Howard the Duck running for
president during America's bicentennial in 1976, the politics of
comics have overlapped with the politics of campaigns and
governance. Pop culture opens avenues for people to declare their
participation in a collective project and helps them to shape their
understandings of civic responsibility, leadership, communal
history, and present concerns. Politics in the Gutters: American
Politicians and Elections in Comic Book Media opens with an
examination of campaign comic books used by the likes of Herbert
Hoover and Harry S. Truman, follows the rise of political
counterculture comix of the 1960s, and continues on to the graphic
novel version of the 9/11 Report and the cottage industry of Sarah
Palin comics. It ends with a consideration of comparisons to Donald
Trump as a supervillain and a look at comics connections to the
pandemic and protests that marked the 2020 election year. More than
just escapist entertainment, comics offer a popular yet complicated
vision of the American political tableau. Politics in the Gutters
considers the political myths, moments, and mimeses, in comic
books-from nonfiction to science fiction, superhero to
supernatural, serious to satirical, golden age to present day-to
consider how they represent, re-present, underpin, and/or undermine
ideas and ideals about American electoral politics.
