News and views from the Dutch Uncle of dreamland.
posted by Jim Woodring at 2:36 PM
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.

Been catching myself inadvertently smiling at my 'puter screen..I just found your Google 'theme' for my homepage..it's really the cat's ass, thanks!
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
wonderful interview :)
um.. that picture at the end with the skeletons holding up that building... is, no joke, one of the most prolific and profound images I have ever seen... and im looking at it through poor quality internet video and its probably only part of the image. I need to find out which of your books that is from...
Hi Jim,
Hope you are doing well! Looking forward to your next blog update. Do you have a twitter account?
I coincidentally heard this song for the first time while reading your new book. It's a remix of a Silly Symphony cartoon by Disney. I thought it was hilariously fitting for Frank.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed "Congress of the Animals." I hope a certain significant character at the end joins the permanent cast!
