Bean and gone (Seeing as Mr. Bean has been retired by Mr. Atkinson.)

The intern in charge of Ronald Reagan’s jelly bean jar.

The place where Mr. Bean sits at the diner.

Who? Apparently he wasn’t Humphrey Bogart’s script editor. “The problems of 3 little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.”

Someone who counts out how many beans it take before the musical fruit makes someone toot?

A Bean counter should be able to tell you how many TV episodes (live-action and animated) and feature films he has bean in.

A true Bean Counter should be able to tell you the number of TV episodes (live-action and animated) and feature films Bean has bean in.

Why would anyone want to counter Mr. Bean?

headache!!

Very funny

I thought it was his accountant…

Is that the guy that invented that Atkinson diet thing where bean counting makes sense?

I first thought of Sean, brilliant actor in “Sharpe”.

Lost me

Nice. I haven’t seen Mr Bean in a while.

But truly, a bean counter is: “the shelf or tabletop upon which one adds up the total of dried legumes in one’s pantry.”

Rowan Atkinson is the real Mr. Bean, you can’t retire who you are.

An accountant from Boston?

He’s been famous that long.

For others who didn’t get this, Rowan Atkinson portrays a character named Mr. Bean in a British TV show.

What is a bean counter?

One who pays attention to details.

What do you call a person who doesn’t pay attention to details?

Corpse.

I get the Bean part but the counter part is a mystery as a script editor.

What is this all about? Who is?

Since Mr. Rice got canceled, those shows lacked any protein

That will be “Sir Rowan Atkinson” bub. And remember, once a king always a king, but once a knight’s enough.

Gee, when was the last time we saw Curls in this strip?

Aka, Richard Curtis.

My first exposure to Rowan Atkinson was “Black Adder.” I never followed Mr. Bean.
