Beginnings


We all know the stories of how creative people get into the business of creating for a living, but how did they start using their imaginations in the first place? On the Beginnings podcast, writer and performer Andy Beckerman asks well-known and up-and-coming comedians, musicians, writers and artists about their earliest creative acts and about other formative childhood experiences.

On today's show I talk to cartoonist Ruben Bolling. A lawyer by trade, Ruben is also the author of the amazing syndicated comic Tom the Dancing Bug, which has been running since 1990. While mostly a political cartoon like This Modern World, Tom the Dancing Bug has no standard format, sometimes critiquing the current plutocracy, sometimes just being surreal and absurd. The comic has been collected in three anthologies, and there's also a fan club called the Inner Hive which helps support Ruben as well. Join it today!
