Ruben Bolling
Ruben Bolling is a pseudonym for Ken Fisher (born c. 1963 in New Jersey), an American cartoonist and the author of '' Tom the Dancing Bug''. His work started out apolitical, 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. This trend strengthened with the Donald Trump presidency and right-wing populism from 2017-2020, his critiques of which earned him several cartooning awards. Career Fisher, who has no formal art training, read many comic strips when he was a child (his biggest influence being Garry Trudeau's ''Doonesbury''), and sometimes features their styles in his work. However, he didn't aspire to be a full-time cartoonist; instead he studied economics as an undergraduate at Tufts University and is a 1987 graduate of Harvard Law School. It was at Harvard in the mid-1980s that Fisher came up with the idea for "T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
