That's right fellow bean enthusiasts, on this day of 2026-01-06 we celebrate World Bean Day: A day to appreciate the beans in our lives! This day also corresponds to the death anniversary of geneticist Gregor Mendel, who liked beans.

Much like last Bean Day, you are required to draw beans on Bean Day. This year, however, we will change things up a bit: The image attached to this post will act as a template on to which you will add your own bean celebrating Bean Day. Other bean enthusiasts can then use your image as a template for theirs and post it as a subcomment. Let's see how many different drawing-comment chains we can get!

HAPPY BEAN DAY!
