Beanish and Dreamishness:

greatest love story ever told.

[heddabee]

Beanworld 3.5: a review.

Welp, this issue contains more episodes of The Greatest Love Story Ever Told:

…but its focus is on what makes this generation of beans so unusual: the capacity of most beans to engage their imagination, to ask why and how; and the inability of the Hero to do the same.

The Hero, Mixa Spoog, can readly (or too-readily) perceive threats, but he cannot see what isn’t there. Art escapes him; in this book, he does not understand that other adult beans don’t experience the cuties the same way he does, and misses out on an opportunity to integrate the cuties further into beanworld.

His lack of imagination makes it difficult for him to see he future; he is stuck in the now, including some of its pre-ordained rituals and routines. This reminds me of the long-rumoured ‘genetic’ link between the Hero and the Hoi Polloi, who literally lack imagination, and are forced to endure suffering over and over again, when they should know that the end result is pleasure.

Question raised: what is the 'relationship’ between Hero’s subconscious embrace of the 'now,’ at the expense of imagining the 'future,’ and Beanish’s lessons from Dreamishness in embracing the 'now’? It’s been clear-ish for a while that Beanish is on his way to being one of the most well-rounded beans, psychosocially (an artist’s gift to himself?).

Hey does anyone on tumblr know about Larry Marder's  tales of the beanworld???

TBH It’s a really great comic thing, and yet it’s like insanely obscure, and honestly I’m just curious if there’s people on tumblr who also likes this stuff.
