Collects Jim Woodringβs non-Frank comics work; stars βJim.β
Frank is, as everyone knows, Jim Woodringβs best-selling cartoon character. Jim, on the other hand, is Woodringβs cartoon alter ego, the fictional doppelganger who has for 30 years inhabited Woodringβs alternate universe where shifting, phantasmagoric landscapes, abrupt, hallucinatory visual revelations, and unexpected eruptions of uninhibited verbal self-flagellation are commonplace.
Jim is a mind-bending collection of all of Woodringβs best non-Frank creative work β comics stories, prose stories, drawings, and paintings, with a new introduction and afterword by the man himself. Abounding in metaphors if you choose to see them and naked self-disclosure if you donβt, this volume of comics, prose, and images β collected here for the first time β is a bounty of Woodringβs inspired artistry.
