After far too long an absence, Larry Marder is resurrecting his alternate-reality comic masterpiece, Beanworld!

The story is very simple, really. See, there are these beans that live on a small island floating on a thin lake over a sea of abstract Platonic forms called the Four Realities. Professer Garbanzo makes spears and other tools out of three of the four Realities; so far twinks have proven useless except to make art. Mr. Spook and the Chow Sol'jer Army use these to steal chow from the Hoi-Polloi, one-armed gamblers who live between the Bone Zone and Der Stinkle....
Oh, forget it. Just read the damn thing. You can see the latest Beanworld tale at Dark Horse Comics' Myspace page.
[Thanks, Boing2!]

Will there be new characters? (And hence more potential names for computers?) :)
