Back in February, you might remember I found myself in a terrible situation, and had to make three posts in a day. To warn everyone about this daring and hazardous act, I posted an Emergency Bean Grab Warning. It was only fair.
Ian was unimpressed, telling me in the comments that it was the worst fairytale he’d ever heard. But I took his criticism on board, and together we workshopped a much better fairytale about my February bean. He then insisted that I draw some pictures so we could get it published and make our fortune.
While I haven’t yet started negotiations with publishers, I am now pleased to share the finished artwork, which includes everything in Ian’s fairytale wish list: Medieval Europe, savagery, a misogynistic male Prince character, a plucky young sidekick named Ian, reaction shots of Ian, a friendly animal helper, bad weather, and some sort of woman.
I present to you Crich5156’s February Bean Grab: The Fairytale: The Graphic Novel.

I could have lived with only the reaction shots of me but then the rest of it wouldn’t make sense. It’s a stunning return to form and you should do more of these.
You can’t only have the reaction shots of you. To get the good stuff you also have to endure lots of me swanning around in a top hat with a crown on it. Which is, in many ways, a metaphor for life.
Also I’ve never looked braver than I have in panel 4. I’ll paste it onto a mannequin and sell it as a scarecrow to local farmers.
I’m not sure anyone’s ever looked braver than that. I think we should start pasting your brave face into action movie posters to brave them up a bit more.
Take away Vin Diesel’s face on the new Fast and the Furious movie poster and glue mine over the top, or even Harrison Ford’s on the new Indiana Jones. Hold my beer, boys, we’ve got a new kid in town.
I’m on it. Watch this space.
(I like this because it’s already happened and we both know it’s happened but I’m still pretending to wait).
(This is how it should be. These are the rules of the Beans. All comment threads exist in their own strange little worlds. Much like we do.)
(Some things affect others and you have to be sure to read almost all of the posts (I’m looking at your KEV with your carefree I’ll do what I want and stuff the rest of you attitude) to keep up with the hectic speeds we travel at)
(He’ll never read this)
(Nor this either)
