Overside is a {{flat world}} populated by [[LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces a wide, colorful variety]] of beasts and intelligent species. Interestingly, [[FiveRaces the standard assortment of fantasy races]] is [[AvertedTrope completely absent]]. For that matter, so are humans: the inhabitants of Overside are all either some species of CartoonCreature, or MechanicalLifeforms.

The stories set in Overside include three long comics and several [[http://www.rice-boy.com/shortstories.php short stories]]:
*''RiceBoy'' (April 2006 - May 2008)
*''OrderOfTales'' (July 2008 - July 2010)
* "The Tethered Isle" (October 2009)
* "Waiting in Surya" (November 2009)
* "The Jewel of Brambool" (January 2010)
* "The Tusks of Wusterim" (May 2010)
*''{{Vattu}}'' (July 2010 - ?)

[[folder:In rough chronological order, for those interested...]]
*"The Tusks of Wusterim" (sometime in the Green Age)
*"The Tethered Isle" (date unknown; could have occurred anywhere between the early Blue Age and the beginning chapter of ''Rice Boy'')
*''Vattu'' (the ninth century of the Blue Age)
*''Order of Tales'' (the third century of the Red Age)
* "Waiting in Surya" (the seventh century of the Red Age)
* ''Rice Boy'' (the ninth century of the Red Age)
* "The Jewel of Brambool" (occurs not long after ''Rice Boy'' chapter 32)

However, the events of the various stories are so disconnected that you're probably better off reading them in published order.
