Speaking of New York, Jim Woodring, the magical cartoonist of existential dread and mystery, is here! Three nights in a row!

  1. Jim Woodring is underrated, to say the least.
    He’s cornered the entire comics field’s silent storytelling niche.

    Had this been another puff piece about some another “alternative” cartoonist getting cover work for the New Yorker, there would have been comments.

  2. Jim is so good it’s frightening. He deserves to be more well known, but honestly I think most folks just don’t get it. His art is gorgeouly rendered, but I think because the style seems so cartoony people don’t realize that their minds will be blown apart, then reassembled into a throbbing neon snowflake.

    At first I thought this was an entirely new project, but seems to be further madness in the land of Frank. Any new Jim Woodring is good news.
