Presenting: The Java Bean Group Comic
Folks, it is with great pleasure that I present to you the (mis-adventures?) of The Java Bean Group, also known as TJB, in comic form!
For those of you who are unaware (which is pretty much everyone), The Java Bean was the name of a local coffee establishment that our small circle of friends used to frequent. After all, it was owned and operated by people from our own group.
Many a night (and early morning) found us hanging out at "The Bean." There was food, drinks, coffee, computers, high-speed Internet and games! No doubt, Call Of Duty was a big favourite (and still is). Players screaming bloody murder as bullet-proof and bullet-dodging game characters escaped, what appeard to be, certain death.
Sadly, the coffee shop folded and TJB moved into cyberspace by way of a private e-mail list. Members still frequently gather to play volleyball and for a social drink in The Gap.
Our discussions and debates are legendary as is the amount of nonsense we talk about. So when it was suggested that some of our hi-jinx and stories be drawn up in comic form, with a bit of fiction thrown in to protect the innocent, it was quickly agreed upon by everyone.
Thanks to artistic talents of Aguin and to the TJB group for inspiration, our first comic is complete. It may be the last, but that doesn't matter. It was a suggestion that was thought of, approved and executed by members of our group.
Like it or lump it World, The Java Bean Group comic is here!
