Review
“It takes a bit of daring to be willing to alter the status quo in a respected body of work and considerable talent to be able to do so in as assured manner as Woodring does here...†- Chris Mautner, Robot 6“...[T]he payoff... feels like a weight has been lifted from Woodring’s strange world, while the route he takes to get there is illustrated so beautifully it’s almost superhuman. It’s the happy ending he’s spent most of his career earning.†- Sean T. Collins, Robot 6“I love the fact that Woodring has made a huge, fundamental change to the world of Frank, and that in doing so it still feels like an old familiar friend.... There’s no other comics quite like Woodring’s out there, and I’m forever thankful that we get these amazing, disturbing, wonderful creations from him.†- Greg McElhatton, Read About Comics

I've been a fan of Jim's unique and unsettling visions since I first encountered JIM magazine in the late 80's, but I have to admit, it took some time for Frank to grow on me. At first I was more enamored of Mr. Woodring's illustrated text pieces such as Horse Sinister, and his lucid dream inspired pieces like What The Left Hand Did. But eventually Frank and The Unifactor won me over.One thing I've heard people say about Jim's imagery is that it resonates with them in a strange way, with a slight tug of deja vu at the base of the brain, like they've experienced it somewhere before. Perhaps in a long forgotten dream, a repressed childhood memory or a hallucination experienced during a severe childhood fever. Count me among them. When I read Jim's work, I often feel a sense of strange memories *almost* being recalled, but remaining tantalizingly out of reach. It is as though the art is merely a "port" that my eyeballs "plug into," allowing mysteries of the universe to flow directly into my subconscious from a source behind the page.Jim's work isn't just incredible storytelling and unique visual style, it's a complete language unto itself. The best way I can describe it is that Jim's work forces the reader's brain to employ different "muscles" for comprehension than any normal human is used to exercising (at least in Western culture). The literal brain is gently lulled into stasis by Jim's hypnotic linework, while other faculties such as intuition and the ones that allow us to "read" facial expressions and detect emotion and meaning in patterns and designs come to the fore, but are used in a more all-encompassing way to "read" an entire story with a degree of depth and nuance that mere words and pictures alone could never hope to convey. -And Jim does this which such dexterity that he is able to abandon words altogether! Yikes!Anyhoo...In my opinion, Jim's narrative and artistic powers grew exponentially with Weathercraft. And they've multiplied again here with Congress of the Animals. You'll share A poignant and breathtaking journey with Frank that is equally beautiful and horrific. A truly spellbinding and hypnotic work that will speak directly to your soul. At least, it spoke to mine. YMMV.I believe Congress of the Animals to be Jim Woodring's finest and most satisfying effort to date, and anyone would be foolish not to experience it for themselves.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A WORD OF WARNING!!!Unfortunately, Jim appears to have felt compelled to explain far too much of the story on the Inside flap and back cover of the dustjacket! DO NOT LOOK AT IT BEFORE READING THE BOOK!! In my opinion it's far more engaging and enjoyable to divine the meaning for yourself! Luckily I realized what was happening and stopped reading before I'd gotten too far. Afterwards, I went back and looked at it and confirmed that yes, my personal enjoyment of the work would indeed have been impaired if I had read the dustjacket first. Please help spread the word: DO NOT READ THE DUST JACKET FIRST!!!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was at a chain bookstore reading a 2011 compilation of comic art and came upon an excerpt from Congress of the Animals and was busting my gut laughing. So I searched it out and found it here on Amazon. It is really an enjoyable journey, communicates well and cuts straight to a subconscious part of the brain. It was shipped quickly and I'm glad I bought it. Now I liked Jim's facebook page and am amazed at his ability to communicate through his art. I agree a tad with the other reviewer's comments about the dust jacket synopsis, but still I feel the "reading" (no words or text in the story) of the book wasn't tainted by my reading Jim's synopsis. I think it may have even clarified and increased the accuracy of the communication of the story line, although I agree that it was by no means essential. I am glad Jim put it in the book because I feel that, as the author if he wants to include that as a part of his art, then it becomes an essential part of the total package. I particularly enjoyed the chronological continuity that the book has, and feel that it is generally an upbeat story.
When following the strange world of Jim Woodring's Congress of the Animals you have to pay attention. The drawings of the strange and sometimes comical and sometimes horrifying creatures will send you off course as to the story line. Hence I had to read this silent and strange graphic novel three times in order to really grasp its meaning and purpose. Woodring brings us the human conditions of everyday life as played out by this strange Congress of Animals. We see greed, anger, laziness, cruelty, sadness and happiness. Does our hero learn his lessons through his misadventures and mistakes? Well you'll have to read this silent without words graphic novel. The use of these rather strange characters only emphasizes the lessons Woodring is trying to impart on his audience. His antics of drawing certain characters certainly at times seem to overplay what he is trying to convey. That's why sometimes I got so caught up in the looks of these strange creatures I lost track of the true story line. The author conveys the true sense of his lessons in humanity while using strange almost out of this world animal-like creatures that do in the end teach us a lesson to be well learned. Genius portrayal of human traits, five stars without hesitation.
Gorgeous, humorous, and thought-provoking.
Jim Woodring's work is at the sublime and quirky end of the graphic art spectrum. I believe that in the future he will be looked upon as at least as important as Robert Crumb, who also is truly wonderful - though in many ways more creaticvely cautious than Woodring himself. In this volume, Frank is again at centre-stage throughout and goes through a series of startling escapades before unexpectedly meeting a creature who appears to be his soul-mate. Don't you want that sort of outcome for Frank? The guy needs love and he certainly gives as good as he gets. One wonders if the honeymoon will continue in Woodring's next volume, just out.
Jim Woodring is worth a second look. And a third. The details and clever pacing of this book, like his others, rewards additional viewings. Especially nice about Congress of the Animals is the quality printing. The artwork looks elegant on the creamy paper. Looking forward to what comes next.
