In Doug NenNapel's newest graphic novel
Cardboard, Cam's broke dad gives him a cardboad box for his birthday, which would be awful except it turns out to be, well, magic cardboard. Now, everything they make out of cardboard comes to life! And then the neighborhood bully steals the cardboard and makes monsters. Lots and lots of monsters. Which of course leads to an epic showdown between good and evil. Or something like that.
I've long been a fan of Doug TenNapel's wacky brand of comics, which feature an off-beat sense of humor, odd characters, hijinks, ethical quandaries, and the occasional "Ewww!" moment. Cardboard did not disappoint. Some of the creations in the book were pretty awesome, so the next time I get a cardboard box, I'm going to make a few mini-monsters of my own. And then be very, very glad when they don't come to life.
