Frank #1

In "Hi-Rise Hopper," Jim Woodring’s surreal world unfolds with his signature blend of absurdity and quiet wonder, as the perpetually bewildered Manhog finds himself in a moment of chaotic delight—set off by a prank involving firecrackers and a mischievous Jerry Chicken. When a mysterious stranger appears, the oddball encounter hints at something deeper beneath the comic’s dreamlike surface. The story, written and illustrated by Woodring, features his distinctive art and lettering, with a cover by the same hand.
