Nick takes Nick on a journey through Larry Marder's twisted reflection of our own society: Beanworld. Although, it's not quite on the same level of biting satire as Sitting Ducks. Really, there's a lot of things Beanworld shares in common with our realm, including chips, twinks, and the Bone Zone. Truly, two sides of the same coin. This week, the Nicks chow down on a delicious discussion about Larry Marder's Beanworld! Follow Andy Huber (@yafroglog on Instagram) for amazing art stuff!

This week on the show: Beans that talk, Ducks what walk, and there's something weird going on in a forest in Japan. Plus Warcraft breaks a record... AGAIN! And did someone just say magical fruit? NEWS World of Warcraft: Cataclysm shatters records LINKAGE REVIEWS Stephen Stephen The Suicide Forest #1 (of 4) El Torres (w) • Gabriel Hernandez (a & c) Just outside of Tokyo lies Aokigahara, a vast forest and one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in Japan... which is also the most famous suicide spot in the entire world. Legend has it that the spirits of those many suicides are still roaming—haunting deep in those ancient woods. This series from the creators of the acclaimed The Veil examines the lives of Alan, an average worker from Tokyo and his rather unhealthy relationship with Masami, and Ryoko, a forest ranger who recovers the suicide victim's bodies from the woods. We discover that behind Ryoko's unconcerned surface lies a secret, and these three lives will be forever changed by the darkness waiting for them in the Suicide Forest.

Both these teams of creators worked in the 1960s and produced a solid body of work that laid the groundwork for much popular culture that came after them, and in both pairs each member seems to have brought the best in the other member.  Think of McCartney’s work in Wings vs. his work in the Beatles, or Kirby’s solo work–neither accomplished alone what he accomplished while working with his partner (the same is true of Lee and probably Lennon too).  But which team is better, more influential, which raised their chosen genre higher relative to what it was when they started and in comparison with others, etc. VOTE MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION: Tales of Beanworld Volume 1 Tales of the Beanworld is an independently published comic book, created by Larry Marder. Beanworld features stories about the life and times of the Beans, minimalistic characters which Marder has been drawing since childhood. The stories borrow concepts from various world mythologies, popular concepts of ecology, and pop culture. The first issue was published in 1985, and the series ran 21 issues until 1993. The first four issues were printed independently (under the imprint The Beanworld Press. Starting with issue five, the title was released by Eclipse Comics. A total of four book collections were released, reprinting issues #1-16. The series was revived in February 2009 and is now published by Dark Horse Comics in deluxe hardcover editions.  Wahoolazuma (February, 2009) reprinted the first nine issues. The second volume, A Gift Comes!, came out in July, 2009, reprinting the remaining twelve.  A new one-shot comic came out in December, 2008. A third hardcover volume, Remember Here When You Are There!, came out in November, 2009, with all new material. Marder says that this completes the “Springtime” cycle of Beanworld stories.
