b + y = g is written by Barry and Justin. They are a couple of young upstarts who greatly underestimated how difficult it is to start a webcomic if you really have no idea how to do it, but since it’s up they’re gonna run with it.
Back in ‘04 Justin got a bunch of sweet toys called Xevoz. One day Justin got so frustrated trying to play the intended Xevoz game, that he made a short comic with them instead and emailed it to Barry. Barry was bored so they made a bunch more. That lasted maybe two weeks. Then this whole story repeated itself in early ‘09 and since the internet is sweet, here we are. They’re gonna give this whole webternet thing a try.
Barry is an enterprising, young, mildly famous historical interpreter at what many call the U.S.’s number 1 maritime museum. He has a passion for history, humor and music. Since historical interpreters work for non-profit companies, Barry has to support himself with outside endeavors, hopefully including an uncontrollably successful webcomic. When invited to, or crashing a potluck, Barry always brings The Funk.

Justin sponges off of those around him professionally. He also entertains pseudo-professionally in his spare time, which is copious. One way to fill this copious spare time is to create web-comics. This uncontrollably successful webcomic helps to relieve the financial burden Justin places on all of those around him. Justin loves fire, fire does not love him.
