Tom the Dancing Bug’s Inner Hive, and Harvey Richards, the Greatest Lawyer in the History of Fiction
Tom the Dancing Bug, a comic strip by Ruben Bolling, has been a favorite of the author since the early 1990s. Bolling launched a subscription service called The Inner Hive in 2012 due to declining revenue despite increasing readership. The author highly recommends The Inner Hive for its enjoyable bonus content and the opportunity to support the comic's creation. Patreon is suggested as the easiest platform to join. The author was motivated to re-endorse The Inner Hive after discussing Harvey Richards, a recurring character. Richards, a lawyer for children, is a favorite of the author, known for his unique legal doctrines. Two notable doctrines are "He Who Smelt It, Dealt It" and "I'm Rubber, You're Glue." The author's earliest recollection of Harvey Richards involved the "I'm Rubber, You're Glue" doctrine. Despite extensive online searches, the author could not find an early strip featuring this specific doctrine. After contacting Bolling, he confirmed the author's memory was accurate. Bolling granted permission to reproduce this strip, which originates from 1993.
