Jim and Bob are the classic team of a normal, sane person whose best friend is an idiot. They're so close to the base form that one could consider labeling the cliché as the Jim-Bob template. The style is extremely common, easy to spot with the major characters in name-brand comics: Penny Arcade, MegaTokyo, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, VGCats, Staccato, and more. Variations include having one sane person among idiots (often female) or a single idiot used for comic relief (PvP's Troll). Further mixing (MacHall) probably wouldn't be considered a template derivative.

Plot
JBC is a gag comic and doesn't support a full story, but the Lost in New York arc has been written to 20 strips and hasn't had an ending written. Normal arcs are also to be JBC content.
It isn't certain what the relationship is between Jim and Bob. They could be brothers, roomates, friends hanging out. It isn't known if they go to school, work, live at home or got themselves an apartment. They are known to be gamers, and somewhere in the common highschool-college age group.

Background
Originally JBC was a random title for random back-of-math-homework stick comic doodles in 2003. The phrase "Jim-Bob" referred to the essence of silliness, randomness, humor, and general shenanigans. These were eventually considered worthy of a ruler and time investment, then later MSPaint on an angelfire site. Pencil comics improved, and Keenspace accepted JBC. After some initial activity, updates died out. JBC progressed as in-school work, and continued evolving it's appearance, but there wasn't enough time to keep the website truly active.
