If George Elliot's old grandmother had ridden one of these things home yesterday she'd have a damn sight more to cry about than a batch of ruined biscuits, I can tell you.

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.

this one kicks my ass and then punches my face in the best way!!
The words made me laugh heartily!
I love your work! but sadly I fear none of the Frank books are available in Brazil.
You should try making these things out of playdough.
Well not playdough, probably the more expensive sculpting clay would be a better idea.

We had one of these when I was 9. Its just like the stories you hear about buying a baby Alligator: they grow too big, too fast and end up living in the bathtub 24/7. Then comes the day comes when you finally decide enough is enough, (none of us had had a bath in 3 weeks!) and you drive out into the country to dump it in a stream. I remember Mom whacking its head with a stick, trying to get it out of the trunk of the car. It peed in the trunk and the stink lingered for months.
I' ve been a fan of your crazy style for a while.... love the surreal and beautifully hideous world you create....was a little disappontented when your vinyl toys came out....felt like they were really toned down....keep up your amazing work

On the comments, I just wanted to say that I love the phrase 'the stink lingered' in Paul's post.
But I don't even know what to hold on to.
