Meet the Characters of Just Outside the Box Cartoon

By Website announcements

By popular demand, I’ve been requested to create a character profile page on the home menu. Check it out by clicking here.

At present it champions 3 Just Outside the Box regulars – Bill and Ben the Little Alien Men, Dave the Dot to Dot Dinosaur and Doug the Dung Beetle.  As more characters emerge, I’ll add their profile to it.

If you want to find out more about these little guys, just click that ‘Leave a reply’ box at the bottom of the post and ask a question about one of them (it’s not that hard and you might have a bit of fun by doing so – hint, hint).

Unlike my day job email in tray, I look forward to being inundated with queries for this one!
