This very strange, socially distanced holiday season, you can give the touching but touchless gift of a Super Fun Tom the Dancing Bug Book Package to that special (insert noun) in your life!
Imagine the thrill of receiving two books filled with award-winning, hilarious, thought-provoking and poignant comics, and how well that bounty will reflect on the magnanimous gift-giver.
Now imagine receiving these two books as a present.
The books
👉 Will be sketched in, dated and signed -- and personalized (if requested);
👉 Come with two commemorative bookmarks, also signed; and
👉 Include a special "Artist's" Edition pdf booklet.
And it will be delivered right to the recipient's door, so it's the gift you can give even if you are not physically seeing the givee this season. See instructions below.
12/8/20 UPDATE: ORDER BY 11:59pm ET, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11 FOR PLANNED DELIVERY BY CHRISTMAS. No guarantees when it comes to the USPS, but they've been remarkably consistent for months; these packages have always taken 3-7 days for delivery anywhere in the U.S. (except Alaska and Hawaii can take longer). So, factoring in a healthy late-holiday cushion, the last shipment for a planned delivery by Christmas in the continental U.S. will go out on 12/12.
1. THE "NAME I'D LIKE BOOKS SIGNED TO" FIELD
If you'd like the books signed to the gift recipient, enter the name in the "Name I'd like books signed to" field. If not, you can leave the field blank.
For example, if you enter "Otis" in that field, I'll write "For Otis" in addition to all the signing/sketching I'll be doing in the books.
2. THE "GIFT-GIVER / DATE TO BE OPENED" FIELD
In the "Gift-Giver / Date to be opened" field, enter the phrase, if any, you'd like me to write about who the book came from, a slant, and then the date the gift should be opened, if any, you'd like me to write on the package.
For example, if you enter in that field, "From your buddy Worthington / Kwanza," then in the books I'll write, "From your buddy Worthington," and on the outside of the package I'll write, "PLEASE DO NOT OPEN UNTIL KWANZA."
If you write in that field just, "12/15," then I won't include any note about the giver in the books, but I will write on the outside of the package, "PLEASE DO NOT OPEN UNTIL 12/15."
If you write in that field, "Merry Christmas from your loving high school principal Mr. Garcia," I'll include that phrase in the books, but no date on the outside of the package.
You can also leave this field blank.
Note that the return address on all packages will indicate it is from me, Ruben Bolling.
ON THE PAYPAL ORDER FORM THAT THIS LINKS TO, BE SURE THE RECIPIENT'S POSTAL ADDRESS IS FILLED IN, NOT YOURS.
U.S. only please. Includes Media Mail postage. For deliveries to other nations, please contact teamdancingbug at gmail dot com
I've seen that Media Mail takes five to nine days to ship the package anywhere in the U.S., but order as early as possible.

Here's an example of what the recipient will receive.
Both books, personalized in the way you indicated (the books pictured are not gifts, so there is no "from"), signed and sketched, plus two signed bookmarks.
And this pdf booklet presenting notes, scripts, sketches, pencils and inks for selected comics from both books.
Finally, I can't post this video about the books enough:
And why not show the back cover of Into the Trumpverse?
