A book that sticks with you like a virus, Woodring's newest collection of tales of vague morality and definite oddity keeps intact his status as one of comics most eccentric auteurs.” Douglas Wolk, The New York Times Book Review “Over the last few decades, Jim Woodring has been drawing a series of wordless, blissfully cruel slapstick fables, set in a world of grotesque entities and psychedelic minarets: half unshakable nightmare, half Chuck Jones cartoon filtered through the Bhagavad Gita.” 'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Weathercraft also co-stars Frank's cast of beloved supporting characters, including Faux Pa and the diminutive, mailbox-like Pupshaw and Pushpaw. The new and metaphysically expanded Manhog sets out for a final battle with Whim. He wants to go to celestial realms but instead altruistically returns to the unifactor to undo a wrong he has inadvertently brought about: The transformation of the evil politician Whim into a mind-destroying plant-demon who distorts and enslaves Frank and his friends. After enduring 32 pages of almost incomprehensible suffering, Manhog embarks upon a transformative journey and attains enlightenment. As it happens, Frank has only a brief supporting appearance in Weathercraft, which actually stars Manhog, Woodring's pathetic, brutish everyman (or everyhog), who had previously made several appearances in Frank's stories (as well as a stunning solo turn in the short story “Gentlemanhog”).
