A Story of Symbiosis

摘要

Larry Marder's Tales of the Beanworld series is best described as an ecological fairy tale. What the cover proclaims a "most peculiar comic book experience," the deceptively simple black-and-white cartoons concern how a race of creatures interacts with their environment. "Beanworld is about the affinity of life," Marder states in the beginning of the story. "All the characters, whether they are friends or adversaries, understand that ultimately they depend on each other for survival."
