The Bean Straw: Non-flying Objects
This book features cartoons that wallow in the surreal. They are the quirky ruminations from the deep recesses of the author's mind. The ordinary and mundane are twisted into the strange and fanciful. Please, you need not worry. This is good, clean fun for the whole family. These cartoons are light on the art and concentrate on the comical. Proceed no further, if you are expecting sophisticated cartoon art. However, if you are looking for the unusual and eccentric, then welcome to the bizarre and funny world of The Bean Straw.

Lol... Dark, quirky comics reminiscent of the Far Side.

I love comics like Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert, The Far Side, etc… But to put this in the same category as those would be almost sinful.
The jokes were pretty lame in general and I didn’t find anything super funny about any of them in this collection. Maybe 2 or 3 were slightly chuckle worthy but that is about it.
The artistry is also very primitive and bare minimum. I’m really surprised that this became a syndicated comic when there are so many others out there that are far superior to this. My guess is the syndication needed a single panel comic to fill some void and they just grabbed the first one they saw.
It has DRM, so I have to knock a point off for that.

Nice try, but...
Never laughed at any of these cartoon panels. Obviously influenced by The Far Side, but its a far way to go to reach Gary Larson's level of humor.
