In a lucky flash of brilliance, Woodring decided he'd just erase the speech bubbles entirely and tell the story in pantomime. That didn't work right, so he wrote it with so much profanity that it made his eyes bleed to read it. The human eyes were dropped, too! Woodring at first wrote the dialogue purposefully so flowery as to be incomprehensible. Later, around this creature Woodring wrote a short comic. First, the creature - dubbed Frank - was given human eyes and drawn into a cover of Jim's mildly successful comic autojournal Jim. Maybe it was a snub given to the doodle by a coworker. It was hard to tell what to do with it, but there was something about it that made it keep coming back in his mind. A doodle of a Funny Animal who wasn't rabbit-like or duck-like, but just.
