Proof that it is possible for me to do a short review


Just one of many amusing moments from Inside the Box.

When Paul Southworth of Ugly Hill linked to Fleen, he mentioned it as a site you could visit to read about webcomics without having to wade through a 17 page essay. Now, I know he was probably referring to Websnark when he said that, as Eric Burns is famous for writing ridiculously long essays. However, I have been known to drone on in my posts as well, so for all of you out there who prefer conciseness, here's a very concise review for you, of Inside the Box.

Inside the Box is the continuation of The Far Side. If Gary Larson were to suddenly decide to keep doing The Far Side as a webcomic, it would be Inside the Box. It's got scientists, monsters acting like normal people, animals doing human-like things, the generic kid, and, of course, cows.

If you liked The Far Side, you're going to love Inside the Box. If you didn't care for The Far Side, you're not going to like Inside the Box. That's all there is to it.

Done and done.

I agree. I read the whole archives the other night (because you mentioned it, in fact) and enjoyed it heartily. It's not that long, but it defenitely has the Far Side dynamic down pat.

Whoa! Somebody reads Inside the Box! Glad you like it. (And more glad you implied it carried on in the tradition of Far Side rather than just blatantly ripped it off.... *cough cough*)
