- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? N/A
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I'm not sure how to review Woodring's work --- if you have read any of the Frank work, this is more of the same. Extremely surreal with a plot that is on the verge of making sense.

Another example of me not understanding others taste level. Wordless. But also pointless. Or at least obscure enough that I'm not interested in figuring out the point. The art is okay but not particularly interesting. Yeah, whatever.

Frank breaks up, and Woodring asks and answers the question: 'is it possible to really know and possess another?'. That's my take anyway, but as with anything Woodring does, other interpretations are available.

The art is awesome. The whole thing is very trippy- I liked it.

A companion volume to Congress of the Animals (from the same author), Fran completes a circular journey of discovery, a process that is new for Frank, Woodring's best-known protagonist. Where the previous volume ended on something of a happy note, the beginning of Fran reveals that there has simply been a pause in the flow of events, and there are many adventures and predicaments to be experienced before Frank can find his way home again. Once again, Woodring extends the possibilities of the graphic novel format, and the reader cannot help but be simultaneously comforted and overwhelmed by the author's extraordinary vision.

This definitely goes alongside congress of the animals. I think I may have enjoyed it more if I'd read this first. Either way - better together.

This might be my favorite yet. Either I'm getting used to the strange disturbing imagery or I've come to accept the dreamlike nature of the story. I really enjoyed the circular nature of the story and how it can either precede or follow [b:Congress of the Animals|10001434|Congress of the Animals|Jim Woodring|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327878873s/10001434.jpg|14896470] I feel like it really adds to the surreal mood of the book and series.
