The story follows Jim and Brian, two completely different opposites of the spectrum. Neither one is the other's sidekick, they just like to hang out together, apparently, and have their own little misadventures. Sometimes they meet just by accident, and sometimes they have a situation that arcs over a few comics.

Jim is seemingly armless, but what he lacks in arms he repays in words. He's often irritated, snappy, and cynical, but deep inside, I believe he became so because he got mad at the Creator (a metaphor for its artist) for not giving him any visually interesting features.

Brian is a pretty chill dude that seems to attract bad luck. He's a nice guy. Nothing ever seems to go right for him, he doesn't appear as the hero of the comic though he actually is, which is why many people find him more relatable than Jim.

What these comics lack in output they compensate in their narrative. The stories may go on for more than a few strips and remain perfectly contained within the boundaries of a single comic strip. It makes for sustainably punchy story that may go on forever without losing it's edge.
