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