Pupshaw

Pupshaw is a creature inhabiting Jim Woodring's wordless, surreal Frank universe — a dreamlike realm of unsettling, logic-defying imagery. A companion to the central character Frank, Pupshaw navigates that strange, luminous world alongside fellow beings like Pushpaw and Manhog.

Pupshaw belongs to the singular dreamlike universe Jim Woodring has been conjuring for Fantagraphics since the early 1990s — a world of wordless, unsettling wonder where logic bends and imagery burns itself into your memory. Debuting in Tantalizing Stories #2 in 1992, this Copper/Modern Age creation has kept remarkable company across nearly two decades, sharing those strange, luminous pages with Frank, Manhog, Whim, Pushpaw, and Lucky. Collected in landmark volumes like The Frank Book, Pupshaw is proof that Woodring's Unifactor is one of comics' most genuinely original corners — compact in appearances but impossible to forget.
