Apropos of nothing

Tales of the Beanworld has been out of print for so long (what... 13 years now?) that it doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.

I still have printouts -- on greenbar paper -- of the very first mailing list I ever joined, a TotB fanlist, circa 1991.

(Proffy might be more my style, icon-wise, but [livejournal.com profile] ahkond already nabbed her.)

Three compiled 'Tales of the Beanworld' books were put out about 3-5 years ago but I think they only go to comic #12 or #13... I seem to recall 21 issues were printed. This is one of my favorite comic books although I've had a hard time convincing others to actually read it -- usually they're put off by the 'crudity' of the character design.

Huh? It seems to have had a stub created on August 15th: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_of_the_Beanworld (Beanworld redirects to it).

By the way, anybody curious about all things Beanworld should look at http://www.proaxis.com/~half/BeanWeb/home.html . I have half a mind to reread the site, digest for half an hour and then go and flesh out the Wikipedia entry.
