For those who enjoyed "Simon's Cat" both on YouTube and in the first written book, you will love this sequel!
Normally, Simon's Cat is a series of disjointed scenes and scenarios that highlight the antics of our feline friends. In this sequel, the author actually presents his comics in a story like fashion. The cat starts out at home but gets frustrated with his loving owner (one of my favorite scenes). He runs away from home and experiences what lies "Beyond the Fence". The way this is presented as a story and not as random feline acts earns the author kudos in my book. It works well and will keep you entertained throughout your reading session.
I highly recommend "Beyond the Fence" for all you Simon's Cat fans. I hope the author continues to make these entertaining and heart warming comics!

Simon's Cat first and foremost is a series of videos, and the diversification into print media had the feel of a cash in. That said the first book was funny and the second has just as many laugh out loud moments.
The issue with this title is that the first book was more grounded in everyday things cats do and thus relates to what we see. The premise here is what we do not see, what our cats get up to ... well ... beyond the fence.
One of the fundamental appeals of Simon's Cat is that we can relate, and whilst this is still there, it is much more subdued. As such the comedy focuses not on what we know is odd behaviors cat's engage in but on what we might hypothesize this extends to in a less familiar setting. However this extensions is going from the familiar / plausible to the ridiculous / implausible very quickly, and far too often.
That is not to say this is a bad title, rather it is trying too hard and although the origins of the extension beyond the fence can be seen, it just is hard to accept them as realistic, and thus clashing with the original charm.

The Youtube sensation continues in this second book. What I love about SIMON'S CAT is how well Tofield captures the look and mannerisms of real house cats through his pantomime cartoons. Quite remarkable and he is really a fabulous artist. Lots of laughs and smiles throughout this book just as there was in the first one. BEYOND THE FENCE tells a story about the cat's adventures out in the wild. Each page can be taken as an individual cartoon and that's really how I prefer it. The best parts are when Tofield just makes a cute drawing showing what a cat does during its everyday life.
