What do you think is going to happen next?
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.

Do you mind me asking what kind of nib/brush you use?
Manhog will be thanked for his contribution to the fertility of the local environment. He will not understand the form the gratitude takes.
I ink with a nib; at the moment it's the Brause no. 29EF, the one that is shaped like a pointing hand. It's stiff without being inflexible, and the palm of the hand holds a nice spread of ink.
Slothman, you put it beautifully. Thanks for that.
Mr. Woodring, thank you for making this world a more beautiful, livable place. Yet another incredible image!
What will happen next?
Beautifully drawn, exquisitely rendered bedlam.
One of these days the fruit and vegetable kingdom are going to put Manhog in his place!
Dear Jim,

I am sending a link to my blog. If you get the chance it may be of interest to you, or maybe to anyone reading this. PS. I love your moleskins, but I miss the your Text stories.

Just thought I'd leave you a note about the newly discovered "psychedelica" fish.

Seems right up your alley. Watch the video.
The answer is more like a question: has Manhog ever truly experienced the wrath of unfettered landscape?
Jim, if you ever write poetry, I urge/beg (burge) you to submit to my journal:

I'm-a buy this book when it's done, that's for damn sure what happens next.
Well I imagine someone is going to have to clean up that mess.
Great work!

You have the humor and a very nice style!
Salud! from Argentina

Each eye will spout eyes of its own. Well, not eyes exactly, but certainly seeing.

It will adopt Manhog to replace it's slaughtered young. The resemblance is uncanny (to it).
