Angry Man and Beanworld

in case all you people out there didn't know already Beanworld volume 3: remember here when you are there comes out this coming Saturday! (i think its honestly hard to tell)

if you aren't yet a fan of the series then i strongly recommend heading down to your nearest comic shop and picking up a copy of volume 1: wahoolazuma

I've tried many times to convince my friends that Beanworld was indeed one of the best reads out there, but prejudice falls on the name itself. people find it hard to take something called "Beanworld" seriously, especially whence trying to describe the story, things like "professor garbanzo" and "not worms" bubble up into the conversation.

if you are struggling in the same way here is what i suggest and hope to do myself:

do not describe the story... try to describe the core itself... that is, Beanworld is no less a story, then a journey, one that everyone experiences differently (to quote Scott Mcloud).

it plays with one of the most powerful elements in storytelling: intrigue (to me at least), and that once you begin to understand Beanworld, you become a part of it, and your mind explores possibilities and ideas, and you become entirely immersed in this strange universe, filled with strange folk, and strange laws.

i love Beanworld, and i can not WAIT until volume 3.


anyways i did a small piece for shits and giggles today, hope you like it:
