American cartoonist, fine artist, writer, and toy designer. He is best known for the dream-based comics he published in his magazine "Jim," and as the creator of the anthropomorphic cartoon character Frank, who has appeared in a number of short comics and graphic novels. Since he was a child, Woodring has experienced hallucinatory apparitions, which have inspired much of his surreal work. He keeps an autojournal of his dreams, some of which have formed the basis of some of his comics. His most famous creation is fictional — the pantomime comics set in the universe he calls the "Unifactor," usually featuring Frank. Woodring has won or been nominated for a number of awards. He placed twice on The Comics Journals list of the 100 best comics of the century, with the Frank stories ranked #55, and "The Book of Jim" ranked #71. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
