Earlier this year I posted about an emergency bean grab, prompting a comment thread in which Ian accused me of telling the worst fairytale ever; we went on to work up a much better one that might work as a graphic novel. I then drew the fairytale as a very short comic graphic novel and got a post out of that, achieving the rare but satisfying feat of having a Beans post spawned organically out of the comments on another.
Well, in an unprecedented move, I’m rolling it over a second time, because this post has been spawned by the comment thread under the fairytale comic. Winner!
The point of all this is that Ian liked the way he was portrayed in his first cutaway, the one where he was showing how brave he is, and suggested he should appear that way in some movie posters.
And lo, it was done: here’s Brave Ian in two of this summer’s biggest action movie hits.

Tom Cruise is on the second poster twice so you may want to revise the face closest to the yellow car for maximum bravery.
Oh, hot damn. That’s a shame. I don’t have Action Ian in profile. Can you look brave in profile?
Of course, here you go.

Is that okay?
No, not really. To be honest I found it quite distressing and I can still see it when I close my eyes. Please don’t do it again.
What, you mean this?

I don’t see what your problem is.
Jesus. You need to issue a warning before you start doing that in front of people. Now I have to clean vomit off my shirt.
You’ve seen my brave face in real life now so you know how powerful (not paowerful as I originally typed) it can be when used in the right situations.
Be afraid.
I’ve seen it head on. Your brave face in profile is another thing entirely. If I’d seen that in profile I wouldn’t have lived to tell the tale. I only survived it happening twice just now because I read about it instead of looking at it directly.
We should do some mock-ups of future films with my face on. It’s a shame we missed out on Barbie, I look good in pink.
