Bluntman and Chronic are two characters appearing in an eponymous fictional comic book series seen in the movies Chasing Amy and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Actual Bluntman and Chronic comic books based on the fictional movie comic book series were published after the release of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Both the movies and the comic books were created by writer and actor Kevin Smith.

In the film Chasing Amy, Banky Edwards (played by Jason Lee) and Holden McNeil (played by Ben Affleck) create a comic book series based on their infamous stoner friends, Jay and Silent Bob. The first three issues of the series sell out quickly. At one point, MTV offers Banky and Holden McNeil the option to make an animated series.

Banky is willing to do it, but Holden McNeil declines for "artistic reasons". Soon after this, Holden passes the reins of power over the comic to Banky, and their partnership is disbanded. In the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Banky has sold the rights to Bluntman and Chronic to Miramax who begins production of a film adaptation of the comic due to the recent success of X-Men.

Miramax's production is directed by Chaka Luther King (played by Chris Rock) and stars Jason Biggs as Bluntman (referred to as the pie fucker throughout the film), James Van Der Beek as Chronic, and Mark Hamill as the villain Cock-Knocker. However, filming is interrupted by the comic's inspirations, Jay and Silent Bob, who arrive hoping to stop the film, as they worry that it will damage their reputation. Mistaken as Biggs' and Van Der Beek's stand-ins at one point, Jay and Silent Bob are filmed in some of the scenes.

Months later, the movie is released. One character in the film, Hooper X, referred to the movie as "a ninety-minute long gay joke," and felt it was "just like watching Batman & Robin all over again.", Jay and Silent Bob then use their royalties to track down and beat up everyone who criticised the film online. A comic book based on the fictional movie comic books was published in trade paperback form by Oni Press in 2001.

The book is portrayed as a collection of the three issues written by Banky Edwards and Holden McNeil in Chasing Amy.
