Perhaps the greatest working cartoonist of the moment, Jim Woodring has branched out into web animation. The result, Whim Grinder, is the most faithful jump from comics page to animated cartoon that I have ever seen. Making the jump with him is Woodring's character Frank who, along with his pet, Pupshaw, encounters a devil-like character who attempts to divorce them from their reality. Watch carefully. Watch it again and again, and then tour the rest of Jim's site for comics, games, and mystery.
