Pushpaw

Pushpaw inhabits the strange, wordless dreamworld that cartoonist Jim Woodring has been conjuring for Fantagraphics since the early '90s — a place of lush, unsettling beauty where logic bends and emotion runs deep. Debuting in Frank #2 in 1997, this enigmatic figure shares that surreal landscape with beloved Woodring creations like Frank, Pupshaw, and Manhog, turning up across both Frank and the essential The Frank Book over a span of fourteen years. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Pushpaw is a rare presence — the kind of quietly mysterious character that rewards the devoted reader who lingers in Woodring's singular universe. If you've fallen under the spell of Woodring's work, tracking down every corner of it is absolutely worth the hunt.
