“on the inside” vs. “inside”
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I saw a phrase "get mad on the inside" on this comic and I wonder why the author do not just write "get mad inside":
http://www.poorlydrawnlines.com/comic/not-mad/
Is there any difference between them?

It's an idiom. "She may have seemed happy, but really she was sad on the inside." [M-W, #3: merriam-webster.com/dictionary/on%20the%20inside ]
