I think it was Gareth who introduced me to Larry Marder’s Beanworld. I have managed to collect the four books put out by Beanworld Press, two of them autographed. It’s my favorite comic book, and I’d love to recommend that everyone dash out and buy book one and start reading, but that might be a little difficult as copies currently go for anything from $50 to $200.
There’s good news, however. Larry Marder now has a journal on the web, and is posting teasers. He says there should be a republished edition of the Beanworld story to date, and Beanworld web comics.

What would you get if some neocons decided to create comic books to tell the truth about the liberal menace? You’d get something like this:
Extract from Liberality For All.
I’d like to think that the authors are actually writing it as a sophisticated parody of the right wing mindset, taking the lunacy heard on Fox News and imagining if it were true, and selling it to a gullible conservative audience. But I strongly suspect they’re serious.
They probably don’t see the hilariousness of casting G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North as super heroes either.
But you’ve gotta admit, that’s some damn fine crayon work.
