In our interview, we talk about his new book, the sounds of silence, and that time I canceled his weekly comic for The Stranger back in the early aughts because, well…we were all so young. The book promises to be a “400-page comics odyssey” linking together three earlier books- Congress of the Animals, Fran, and Poochytown-along with 100 new, mesmerizing pages focusing on the unusual life and times of Frank, a character whose stories he's downloaded straight from the heavens (and perhaps from other worlds) for the last 30 years.

This week Fantagraphics will publish One Beautiful Spring Day, a swirling psychedelic epic from legendary Seattle comic Jim Woodring. Originally published on our sister site, The Stranger.
