About Me
- Name: Jim Woodring
- Location: Seattle, Washington, United States
I was born in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California and enjoyed an exciting childhood full of poetry and paroniria among the snakes, rats and tarantulas of that enchanted realm. I eventually grew into an inquisitive bearlike man who has had three exciting careers; garbage collector, merry-go-round-operator and cartoonist. Some of my work is collected in THE BOOK OF JIM, THE FRANK BOOK and SEEING THINGS (all published by Fantagraphics) and in various toys, fabrics, prints and urban legends. Thank you for your interest.

That last pic is a kookaburra, isn't it?
I was in Australia a few years ago. Little skinks everywhere.
"Anger fed it"?? I wouldn't advise going into that cave.
Lets see, from the bottom...cut, cave, kookaburra...caution, colony...CHoo-CHoo train?

Not sure of the others (I just live here), but the bottom one (you changed the order!) has something to do with your run-in with the Australian police in Cairns doesn't it?
Top to bottom:
1. The Andrew James, Australia's crack mail train.
2. Fruit bats pretending they're umbrellas.
3. Standard dog disclaimer written by a lawyer, but what's that red stuff smeared on the wall?
4. Kookaburra between fits of laughter.
5. Can't you read the sign, mister?
6. No, it seems you can't.
The first one is the old Andrew James, the last rail line still taking tourists to Yahoo Serious' house.
The second is a tree of Flying Foxes- nearly ripe for harvest.
The third shot is the garage door at the White House- how'd that get in there?
Number four is a shot of a telephone line of some kind- am I right?
Five is the Syndey Radisson Hotel crocodile entrance.
The last one is Drooperoodie- Australian for stigmata.
I'll take my laurels in small bills, plezz.
I think Wackadiddle meant Sydney.
