Ruben Bolling’s political comic strip Tom The Dancing Bug has won the 2018 Robert F. Kennedy Award for Excellence in Journalism in the Cartoon category. The Award is given for “work reporting on issues of human rights and social justice.”
Bolling previously won the 2017 Herblock Prize for Editorial Cartooning, and the 2014 Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators Comic Strip Awards. He is a Sigma Delta Chi Award winner (Society of Professional Journalists), a multiple Harvey Award nominee, and a five-time winner of the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies Best Cartoon Award.
So you could definitey say the strip has been honored multiple times!
The strip is syndicated via Andrews McMell, but can also be read on Boing Boing, Daily Kos, the premier online political community website, and of course GoComics.
Bolling has more of his personal reaction here.
This is quite good. I’ll have to check out some of these links
