Three grown-up Basement-Dweller brothers with unique qualities, Butch, Junior, and Barney, struggle with independent and free lives, after their parents move to a retirement home. Butch is a fat, stout, ditzy grump, Junior is a long-legged Manchild who provides the most puns, and Barney is an unrealistically tall coffee addict.
The humor tends to be sophisticated and based on Puns, so don't be surprised if you see that nearly every comic strip has a pun as the main source of humor.

The Jenkins provides examples of:
- Artifact Title: Starting around 2020, The Jenkins themselves have appeared less and less often in the comics as the comic grew less pun-based.
- Basement-Dweller: The Jenkins have been spending their adulthood in their basement, not having jobs and stuff like that.
- Color-Coded Characters: Butch has a red shirt. Junior has a yellow one. Barney has a blue one.
- Manchild: Junior is stated to be this, often doing childish acts and having childish knowledge.
- Silly Brain Diagram: Played with in Remembering People's Names, where Junior Jenkins is shown attempting to fit Jason's name into his brain, only for a diagram to reveal that it's being mostly taken up by a single, questionable bit of trivia.Junior: Say, Jarvis, wanna hear the order of a card deck I memorized in 2012?
- World of Pun: Just look up a random strip and chances are likely that there will be a pun to go with it.
