Cardboard is a graphic novel from Doug TenNapel (creator of Earthworm Jim and The Neverhood) and published as a part of Scholastic's Graphix imprint.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story starts with Mike, a carpenter who's been out of work for a while. He wants to give his son, Cam, a cool birthday present, but all he can afford is a 78-cent cardboard box from a mysterious old man with a lazy eye named Gideon. Mike and Cam make the most of the lame birthday present by cutting and pasting the box into the shape of a cardboard boxer – who magically comes to life. The worst present in the history of birthdays quickly becomes the coolest birthday present in the history of the universe.When their nuisance of a neighbor Marcus finds out about the cardboard boxer, he steals some of the magic cardboard to make his own monsters. It's a foregone conclusion that his creations turn on him. With cardboard creatures rampaging all over the neighborhood, Mike, Cam, and Bill the cardboard boxer must step in to save the day.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Creator Thumbprint: No cats, and not many blatantly Christian elements (although you will find some Christian messages if you look closely), but we've got monsters galore, a speechless final page and plenty of "reverse silhouette" panels.

Brick Joke: Early in the book, Mike snarks that Marcus should get a haircut. At the end, after losing his house to cardboard monsters, we see Marcus got that haircut after all.
