Editor's note: Today it is my sincere privilege and honor to introduce our newest cartoon contributor, an artist destined to be the maraschino cherry atop the hot fudge and whipped cream sundae that is the Daily Kos Comics page -- Ruben Bolling. I have known Ruben since at least 1995, and admired the inventive wit and keen intelligence of his weekly strip, Tom the Dancing Bug, for longer than that. And I'm hardly alone in recognizing his talent -- he won the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists in 2011, and has received the AAN award more times than anyone can count. There's even a live-action motion picture in development based on one of his recurrent characters. So please join me in welcoming Ruben (if that is his real name) into the clutches of the Great Orange Satan, where he'll be a regular in the TGIF/happy hour slot each week. -- Tom Tomorrow
