Little Lulu #[2]
In "Lulu Kisses Tubby," John Stanley delivers a delightfully twisted twist on a classic tale, with Lulu spinning a fantastical story about magic beans that bloom into a sea of bean soup instead of a towering stalk. Penciled and inked with playful precision by Stanley and Tripp, this 2005 Dark Horse gem turns a familiar folktale on its head, all while keeping the charm and whimsy of the original Little Lulu world.

Lulu tells Alvin the story of the magic beans. In this telling, Lulu's mother cooks the beans, so when they're thrown out they make an ocean of bean soup, rather than growing into a giant beanstalk. Lulu sails on the bean soup ocean and finds the giant, who isn't happy about the turn of events.
