Bob and George

AND NOW.... SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob and George, this two names marked something that at the time that the strip came out, who would have thought that this name would make the world best sprite-based webcomic ever, ouh and the writter is David Anez, and the link to the site is HERE!

Originally it was planned to be a hand-drawn webcomic about the college adventures of two brothers named Bob and George, but slated to start on April 1, 2000, the plan fell through because Anez did not have a scanner with which to scan his drawings. He stated "I was hoping to use my friend's scanner, but he was never around." He instead released a sequence of filler comics using Mega Man sprites, which he intended to be a temporary measure until he gained access to a scanner, at which point he would implement his initial plan involving the hand drawn comics. He eventually purchased a scanner, and on June 1 he released the hand-drawn comic.

The hand-drawn comic was to revolve around a group of superheroes attending college. Neither the initial attempt nor a later attempt at it went well, and both times he returned to the Mega Man sprite comic. Anez has stated that he hated the hand-drawn comic. The hand-drawn comic made something of a return in the storyline "All Good Things" -- the hand-drawn format is used to represent George's home dimension, though this time drawn by Liss, Dave's wife. Dave stated the reason for this is he realized that he still could not draw, and was not going to get any better. 

However, this meant that the comic strip was titled "Bob and George", but did not contain any characters named "Bob" or "George". This was fixed with the introduction of sprite versions of the two characters into the comic. Bob is depicted as a gray Proto Man recolor while George is a Mega Man recolor with blond hair and no helmet.

David planned to end the comic by April 1, 2007, which is the end of the seventh year of the comic's run. However, the story took longer than expected, and the comic ended on Anez's birthday, July 28, 2007. There are a total of 2,658 daily comics produced.

While not the first webcomic to ever use video game sprites in place of hand-drawn art, Bob and George is noted as being the first sprite comic to gain widespread popularity.

Here is a sample of the 1st comic, and believe me, the rest is great too!

Also, with this post, we end the Megaman Marathon! I hope you all had a great time reading it like i did writing it *cough*couch*!
