To call Jim Woodring a genius is too limited.  To call him a ‘visionary’ implies that he’s seeing something beyond, or is somehow fanciful in his work.  No.  You can only call Jim Woodring ‘Jim Woodring.’  I have never encountered an artist / writer so uniquely himself as Woodring, and the ‘Frank’ strips – many of which are lovingly collected in ‘The Portable Frank,’ bring that quality out front and center.

YOU CAN ALSO CALL ME JIM WOODRING, THOUGH
