I just have to record my excitement here, that Jim Woodring has come out with a new graphic novel, POOCHYTOWN. It’s really difficult to describe Woodring’s style, and even more difficult to describe the experience of being immersed in his work. It’s fableistic, universal in ways that are almost disturbing to try to comprehend. Disturbing because it’s so psychedelic, so foreign, and the characters behave so oddly - and without any dialogue at all - that to feel related to them is inherently disturbing. But once you feel like you’ve gotten to know them, at times it can be comforting. No matter how strange and nightmarish our different worlds are, we can still find a connection to one another. It’s also just amazing how much expression and nuance he gets across with no dialogue. A CONGRESS OF ANIMALS is one of the greatest graphic novels I’ve ever read, so I’ll be excited to report back how this one compares.
