Chip

Chip is a character from Jim Woodring's surreal, dreamlike universe, sharing space with figures like Frank and Manhog in the deeply personal, wordless visual world Woodring is known for — a realm of strange logic, fluid reality, and unsettling wonder.

Born from the singular imagination of Jim Woodring, Chip made their debut in Tantalizing Stories #1 in 1992, arriving at Tundra Publishing during an era when alternative and underground-inflected comics were pushing the boundaries of what the medium could be. Chip inhabits Woodring's deeply personal, dreamlike universe — a world also populated by such memorable figures as Frank, Manhog, and Montgomery Wart — making for some genuinely strange and memorable company. With appearances across Tantalizing Stories and Jim, this is a character for readers who treasure the idiosyncratic corners of early '90s alternative comics, where one visionary creator's inner world became something utterly unforgettable on the page.
