Sort of like a good cup of coffee after a hearty meal.<BR/><BR/>Even though they were always overly heavy on shameless hype--I grew up enjoying Stan Lee's lettercols in the early days of Marvel. <BR/><BR/>Same with Julie Schwartz's thoughtful and informative letter pages. <BR/><BR/>Dave Sim's pages in Cerebus and William Messner-Loeb's in Journey were the letter columns I most wanted mine to be like in the back pages of Beanworld.<BR/><BR/>Lettercols seem to have been left back in the 20th century and replaced with the more immediate experience of email and blooging. <BR/><BR/>That said, I'm quite certain that all of the original lettercols will be archived on an official Beanworld site of some sort in the not-too-distant future.Larry Marderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936917049779513696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-27834509474041469262008-02-17T14:03:00.000-08:002008-02-17T14:03:00.000-08:00Thanks so much to you both.

They were a big part of my Beanworld experience at the time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237020867138571325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-54567621604195664442008-02-16T19:21:00.000-08:002008-02-16T19:21:00.000-08:00It took a little detective work, but it was issue ...It took a little detective work, but it was issue 18, page 4. Mr. Spook is assembling the Beans to escort the Cuties to the Fix-it shop, and Heyoka is starting to break out. I'll scan it and pass it along.JJAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909590539906298789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-55950479500409505012008-02-16T15:36:00.000-08:002008-02-16T15:36:00.000-08:00This usage is just fine with me.

If no one else picks this up and runs with it, I should be able to find it in a day or three.Larry Marderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936917049779513696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-87985038399769867852008-02-15T13:39:00.000-08:002008-02-15T13:39:00.000-08:00I'm saying this here because I don't know where el...I'm saying this here because I don't know where else to say it - Mr. Marder can tell me this is inappropriate, or just not approve my comment, if he wants to. <BR/><BR/>I don't have my old copies of TotB at my current residence, and I'd really like to get a scan of the page or panel where Mr. Spook says "Assemble by moiety!" This would be for use in a powerpoint slideshow for an undergraduate class and would be used exactly once, with credit and copyright information. If anyone cares, it's a class on poetry, and we're doing a little gender stuff, and I want to use this panel to catch their eye before talking about non-gender social distinctions.<BR/><BR/>I suppose this is a little strange, but I can't pass up the chance to promote Beanworld if I possibly can.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, email me at jcw.itl@gmail.com if you would like to help out with this. Thank you. And thanks to the creator of Beanworld for all the teasers lately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237020867138571325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004575200320231085.post-72187365535382794062008-02-14T00:19:00.000-08:002008-02-14T00:19:00.000-08:00wow. i just found your blog. beanworld was one o...wow. i just found your blog. <BR/><BR/>beanworld was one of the most inspiring things in my life. i am unbelievably thrilled you will be continuing the series. i've looked forward to this for... a very long time. thank you.<BR/><BR/>and i hope to buy many copies of everything and give them to all my friends for christmas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
