1''[[http://www.bonedragoncomics.com/ Garnet and Gure]]'' started as a twice-weekly webcomic of the TwoGamersOnACouch variety. It made its start in November 2009 as a weekly feature on freevideogamesite.com, and in March 2011 it made the transition to the front page of a small comics site called Bone Dragon Comics, where it started publishing on Tuesday and Saturday.

3The strip follows the comedic adventures of Garnet Gardener and Gure Lewis, friends, roommates and occasionally partners in the Garnet and Gure Software Concern. Video gaming is a prominent theme for the characters, but over time there have been more and more forays into general nerd-dom, adult life and social topics.

5As of March, 2012, the comic has expanded into a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BoneDragonComics series of animated shorts.]].

7The strip is currently on an indefinite hiatus while the hosting site is experiencing difficulties, but the cartoons continue.

10
11* AmbiguouslyBrown: Nobody knows Gure's ethnicity, and he doesn't care to tell them.
12* AnimatedAdaptation
13* ArtEvolution
14* CatchPhrase: His Holiness Harvey the Dungeon Master frequently wins arguments by shouting "Infallibility!"
15* CreditsGag: The animated shorts feature these.
16* EldritchAbomination: Kar-Goom, the Dangerously Unlikable
17* EvilTwin: "Shadow Gure" is, reportedly, "kind of a dick."
18* AFateWorseThanDeath: According to Yukiko, "escrima dead" is [[http://bonedragoncomics.com/html/garnet_and_gure_111.html worse than "normal dead."]]
19* GamerChick: The titular Garnet, as well as Yukiko, Daisy and Wanda "Baby" Fats.
20* GoKartingWithBowser: [[http://www.bonedragoncomics.com/html/garnet_and_gure_56.html "Baby Wesker Numbah One!"]]
21* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: The strip has repeated references to Naruto fanfiction as an intrinsic part of the girl experience. This idea was later called back to in the animation, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW47WuJI36Y "Suffer Like G Did"]].
22* NakedPeopleAreFunny
23* PlatonicLifePartners: Garnet and Gure may once have had sex, but [[http://bonedragoncomics.com/html/garnet_and_gure_50.html if they did, they don't remember.]] The sexless comfort they have with each other, to the point of wearing a tandem bath towel, has caused some to [[http://bonedragoncomics.com/html/garnet_and_gure_115.html speculate as to the nature of their relationship]].
24* ShoutOut: Most notably, the titles to the animated shorts are all derived from notorious video game lines.
25* TheStoic: Gure
26* TwoGamersOnACouch
