Ambiguous urban stencil icon Reverend Bob Dobbs shown against a gritty decaying background. J. R. 'Bob' Dobbs is the figurehead of the Church of the SubGenius. His image is derived from a piece of 1950s pop-art. According to SubGenius dogma, 'Bob' was a drilling equipment salesman who, in 1953, saw a vision of God (JHVH-1 according to Church scriptures) on a television set he had built himself. The vision inspired him to write the 'PreScriptures' (as described in the Book of the SubGenius) and found the Church. The 'theology' holds that 'Bob' is the greatest Drill Bit salesman who ever lived, and has cheated death a number of times. He was assassinated in San Francisco in 1984, though the Church states that he has come back from the dead several times since then.
