Frank is a unique, visionary comic, exquisitely drawn and so fullyrealized that adults and children alike find themselves drawn deeply intoWoodring's hallucinatory mindscape. The stories, almost entirely wordless, aretold with brilliant, candy colors that people of all ages find alluring. Frankis an 11-year-old generic anthropomorph who lives in a force-laden landscapecalled the Unifactor. He is curious but not smart, naïve but not noble, andhis most outstanding character trait is his ineducability. Along with Pupshaw,Frank's semi-subservient housedog-like godling, the two traipse across theirsurreal landscape, occasionally encountering Manhog, the bloated bladder of sinwith a heart of radiance who exists to thwart their prosperity. For all itsmystery, the world of Frank is a simple, delightful, mesmerizing example ofworld-building at its most fanciful, surely to delight parents and childrenalike.
