Joseph Edward Bean, M.D.,, as he is called, born Rocco Canter, is the accompanying human to the empowered heroes of Not Quite Heroes. He always seems to know where the bad is going down and rushes to get someone who may happen to care, assuming nothing good is on television. He loves coffee, good or bad, and actually had his birth name confused with a nickname to the point where he had to change it. No one knows how, but he is a fully trained medical doctor. No one ever questions why the Beano upon his tie moves or why he ever got a tie with Beano on it.

History:

Beany Joe is a self portrait character. He was made as a sort of crazy exaggeration of myself, but soon developed into a self supporting creation that had to be severed from myself. This breaks the trend of self characters who are generally created first and then adopted as handles and such for personal use. As an ironic twist, I now look more like Beany Joe than I did when I first used him as a surrogate.

Joe has gone through a plethra of changes. He use to not wear the oversized coat. For a while, he had no facial details, be it nose, mouth, eyebrows, or even eyes. Sometimes, he is drawn in a pole like fashion for cartoony kicks.
