At least that's my reading of the situation. My question, though, I guess boils down to, what was the point of that episode? I don't really get a sense that her alteration of the template really did anything, other than remove her from the playing field for awhile. Does the template affect the beans or the whole Beanworld? If it affects the beans themselves, could it have affected the Cuties even if the alteration happened after they had already emerged from their Pod'l Pool? They have displayed unusual growth patterns re: their limb growth after all, though I don't see how that matches up with Heyoka's alteration to the template. I'm a bit flummoxed on this one. Anyone else have any thoughts on just what did or didn't result from Heyoka's time in the template?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-16154790428933475892010-01-11T21:38:31.584-08:002010-01-11T21:38:31.584-08:00Floalagroon, clomid online sesnismnody, [url=http:...Floalagroon, <a href="http://www.webjam.com/clomidonline" rel="nofollow">clomid online</a> sesnismnody, [url=http://www.webjam.com/clomidonline]buy clomid[/url] Froroffibia<br />23Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-35471309039746906992010-01-11T12:11:52.118-08:002010-01-11T12:11:52.118-08:00I FINALLY got my copy of Remember Here When You Ar...I FINALLY got my copy of Remember Here When You Are There-- and I have read it straight through.

I'm sure there are still some there.<br /><br />Austin Books is probably one of the best sources for unusual and well in stock comics among other things.MrSeanLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434560914289204877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-67503584944202585052010-01-09T10:57:20.675-08:002010-01-09T10:57:20.675-08:00Hey, Brandon,

A book can't be treated more nicely than getting to show-off face out off of a shelf! <br />I think I've only been to Austin once for one of the stops on the Spirit of Independence tours in the mid '90s. A lot of water has flowed under a lot of bridges since then.<br />I'm sure I will be back to Austin one of these days, sooner than later, I hope.Larry Marderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936917049779513696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-64629371040282994522010-01-09T07:20:09.539-08:002010-01-09T07:20:09.539-08:00Hey, the Beanworld series has been a great success...Hey, the Beanworld series has been a great success for us. A lot of folks come in asking for it specifically, so we have it featured in a dedicated, face-out position (along with earlier volumes). You can be sure that as long as Beanworld is available for us to order, we'll have it in stock.<br /><br />Thanks for the great work!Brandon @ Austin Bookshttp://www.austinbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-68370956149479423152010-01-08T21:56:58.353-08:002010-01-08T21:56:58.353-08:00Well, I'll be.

Thanks, Allen,for clarifying something that didn't make any sense. <br /><br />When I first heard of John's dilemma, I remarked to a friend "In my experience, there are always at least two sides to every comic book story and quite often more." <br /><br />This is a perfect example, and in this case, one with a most delightful explanation and happy ending!<br /><br />Very interesting commentary regarding "conceptual breakthrough." And in that area, including Mr. Spook's Stupid Mistake, there is much, much more yet to come.Larry Marderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936917049779513696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-25709856266539481912010-01-08T20:40:18.359-08:002010-01-08T20:40:18.359-08:00Hey, don't think bad thoughts about Dragon'...Hey, don't think bad thoughts about Dragon's Lair in Austin, TX -- the reason John didn't find any Beanworld on their shelves is that I had just bought all three books there!<br /><br />The other side of "unresolved mysteries" is "conceptual breakthrough," the sensation that powers so much Golden Age science fiction. Beanworld is an ongoing exercise in conceptual breakthrough. Part of its fascination, its compelling quality, is the repeated and regular revelations of new purpose in something we previously considered understood.<br /><br />For me the most memorable Beanworld moment is that terrific page in "The Mystery Pods Must Go" (page 214 in the Volume 2 reprint, "A Gift Comes") where the beans run up to the Legendary Edge and there, hanging in empty space, is the twink-slat-pod artifact that will become known as Mr. Spook's Stupid Mistake. I can practically hear the Strauss music from "2001: A Space Odyssey" playing then, like when the apes confronted the monolith.Allen Varneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10751693785863649469noreply@blogger.com
