Inside the Box

by R.J. Clark

This book is not for you if you can't take the heartbreak of things like: A tornado that runs off with a farmer's daughter (before finishing harvesting the corn!). A group of bears being scammed into thinking they're going to another planet in hyper sleep chambers (when they're not). The pathetic sight of snake boxing. A tree murdering another tree "in cold chlorophyll." A Neanderthal who never marries after witnessing a spit paint incident between another guy and his wife (in public). A depressed sock that turns to drinking fabric softener (due to his recent separation). If you can handle the tragedies like those listed above then you should be able to handle the rest of the cartoons in this collection that are less tragic, like: Some guy double bogeyeying the entrance of a black hole. Hum Dum having a great fall off the Great Wall. The introduction of the fly strip tie into the fashion world. At any rate, if you like depressing things, you'll like this book.
