Tales Of The Beanworld is a comic book written by Larry Marder.It focuses on the tales of a world of anthropomorphic beans. The comic has an incredibly detailed, bizarre semi-2d cosmology, and a surprisingly rich plot given that most of the residents of the world are nameless. Notably, the comic does not feature humans in any way, shape or form.The original comic ran from 1985 to 1993. It was reprinted in 2009 in two volumes, along with a third, entirely new volume. A shorter book ("volume 3.5") was published in 2012, and a fourth volume was released in July 2017.As of 2017 it consists of: Wahoolazuma! (volume 1) A Gift Comes! (volume 2) Remember Here when You are There! (volume 3) Tales of the Beanworld, a collection of short stories. Hoka Hoka Burb'l Burb'l! (Volume 4) | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Somehow, the Hoi-Polloi never bleed no matter how many spears are flung at them. The coloured chapter "While we wuz eatin'!" does show them bleeding, though. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The page where Beanish describes his involvement in the big Total Eclipse crossover positively smacks of shamanic imagery. According to Beanworld creator Larry Marder, he was already planning to have Beanish go on a shamanic journey (and even have an upsetting experience involving Dreamishness, who's basically the sun, being eclipsed), and the Total Eclipse crossover fit both those bills perfectly. | |

Fling a Light into the Future | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_4aafd3c8 | comment |
Fling a Light into the Future: It turns out that the Fix-It Shop was created during a previous season - read 'generation' - and ended up playing this role after a disaster almost ended the Beanworld's cycle of life and death. It didn't even just do this for Proffy - it did it for the Boom'r Band, too. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first two chapters. The first chapter involves an attack by some strange corn-shaped creatures, which only serves to set up the second chapter. The second chapter in itself is almost never mentioned again either, and its only purpose (albeit a very important purpose) is to explain where the Mystery Pods came from. Even the first issue had a persistent effect - the eerie Bone Zone of Hoi-Polloi skulls between them and the Four Realities. | |

Flashback: Several. Notably, there is issue 3 (Big Fish Story), as well as "Beanworld Zero" and "How Proffy Discovered the Four Realities" Volume 3.5 is almost entirely flashbacks. Volume 4 adds the story of how the Boom'r Band broke out. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_6e6b8ca7 | comment |
Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Averted in the black-and-white comics. Beans call each other "brother" and "sister" and clearly have some concept of gender, but they all look identical. In the coloured chapters (collected in book 3.5), however, brothers have blue "pants" and shoes, while sisters have red. | |

Sapient House | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_84545521 | comment |
Sapient House: Professor Garbanzo's Fix-it Shop has some kind of sentience on its own, though it communicates only with Proffy. In book 4, Proffy temporarily fuses with the Fix-it Shop itself, and is named as the "stem" of the shop, with the building itself being the "root". One of the cuties even joins in, becoming the "leaf". | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_b8f5a02 | comment |
Nonstandard Character Design: Mr. Spook. He is more realistically drawn compared to the other beans, and more resembles a Hoi-Polloi. In-Universe, adopting a new appearance to set yourself apart from the rest of the identical beans is part of the "breaking out" process. Mr Spook is a special case, though - he's a mutant born from the same disaster that almost ended the Beanworld. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Tales of the Beanworld (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Inspiration Constellation may seem completely nonsensical, but it's actually one big homage to Larry Marder's main artistic inspirations. The alien hero Limelight's outfit and equipment bear no small resemblance to those of the Green Lantern Corps. The beings taking a tour of a Service Station have the heads of Charlie Brown, Krazy Kat and Megaton Man. | |

Outside-Context Problem: To the beans, any threat is effectively this, given their small frame of reference. Special mention, however, goes to the corn creatures in the first chapter, and the Red-Hatted Gangster Racketeer from "While we wuz eatin'!". The latter even lampshades it himself: | |
