Ruben Bolling
American cartoonist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ruben Bolling (born c. 1963[10] in New Jersey) is a pseudonym for Ken Fisher, an American cartoonist, the author of Tom the Dancing Bug. His work started out apolitical, instead featuring absurdist humor, parodying comic strip conventions, or critiquing celebrity culture. He came to increasingly satirize conservative politics after the September 11 attacks and Iraq war in the early 2000s.[1] This trend strengthened with the Donald Trump presidency and right-wing populism from 2017-2020,[11] his critiques of which earned him several cartooning awards.[5][6]
