==History== [[Image:BnG Strip 06-07-2000.png|thumb|200px|An early hand-drawn comic from June 7, 2000<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bobandgeorge.com/archives/000607c|title=The Bob and George Archives|website=bobandgeorge.com}}</ref>]] ''Bob and George'' was originally planned to be a hand-drawn webcomic about the college adventures of the two titular brothers. Slated to start on April 1, 2000, the plan fell through because Anez did not have a scanner with which to [[Image scanning|scan]] his drawings. He stated "I was hoping to use my friend's scanner, but he was never around."<ref name=Kernel /> He instead released a sequence of filler comics using [[Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]] [[Sprite (computer graphics)|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.<ref name=Wired /> Anez has stated that he hated the hand-drawn comic.<ref name="begin">{{cite web|url=http://www.bobandgeorge.com/Other/Begin.html|title=How Did BnG Begin?|website=Bobandgeorge.com|last=Anez|first=David|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615122449/http://bobandgeorge.com/Other/Begin.html|archive-date=June 15, 2006|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The hand-drawn comic made something of a return in the storyline "All Good Things"βthe 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.<ref name="begin"/>{{dead link|date=December 2016}} 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]] [[Palette swap|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 were a total of 2,658 daily comics produced.
