Jub Bub was born on January 10th, 1987. He is the fictional cartoon character created by Dennis R. Rushing (part time cartoonist, author, poet)
Jub Bub was created by mishap, when Dennis R. Rushing botched a spoofed drawing of his Junior High History Teacher.
The initial storyline of the Jub Bub editions, were crudely drawn pages of a 7th grade boy, trying to attempt to become the most popular boy in his school. His chances for popularity were dashed as his younger brother, Bub Bub tagged along where ever he went, wearing a mask on his face. Jub Bub was publically embarrassed and banished to the least popular of his peers.

He was the prototypical "Dumb Jock", and he routinely targeted Jub Bub for his cruel jokes and dispositions. Yet he counted on Jub Bub to help him pass the grades.
As the years progressed, Jub Bub formed an alliance with Rushing, a character loosely based on Dennis R. Rushing. These two complemented each other well, and would become the bests of friends.
In high school the two would meet the " girl of their dreams ", and begin to seriously date.
