<>. En dessinant Jim, son chien recemment disparu, Francois Schuiten a trouve une nouvelle fois dans l’art de la bande dessinee le moyen de combler le vide interieur et d’honorer ce qui lui est cher. Depuis le deces de son discret mais fidele allie du quotidien, l’artiste n’a eu de cesse de lui rendre hommage en produisant une illustration par jour, pour ressentir encore un peu sa presence tout en acceptant de le laisser partir. En compilant ces illustrations dans un ouvrage a la fabrication soignee, Francois Schuiten souligne, avec la majeste qui caracterise toute son oeuvre, les liens puissants et invisibles qui se tissent entre les hommes et leurs animaux de compagnie, et apporte un peu de chaleur a ceux qui connaissent ou redoutent la fin inevitable d’une relation extraordinaire.

Frank is, as everyone knows, Jim Woodring’s bestselling cartoon character. Jim, on the other hand, is Woodring’s cartoon alter ego, the fictional doppelganger who has for 30 years inhabited Woodring’s alternate universe where shifting, phantasmagoric landscapes, abrupt, hallucinatory visual revelations, and unexpected eruptions of uninhibited verbal self-flagellation are common- place. Jim is a mind-bending collection of all of Woodring’s best non-Frank creative work – comics stories, prose stories, drawings, and paintings, with a new introduction and afterword by the man himself. Collected here for the first time, Jim is a bounty of Woodring’s inspired artistry.
