    Vintage LOT ☆ The Austin Chronicle ☆ J.R. "Bob" Dobbs Church of the SubGenius
    A vintage name tag and business card in good vintage condition
    J. R. "Bob" Dobbs
    is the figurehead of the parody religion the
    Church of the SubGenius
    . His image is derived from a piece of 1950s clip art. According to SubGenius dogma, "Bob" was a drilling equipment salesman who, in 1953, saw a vision of the god
    JHVH-1
    on a television set he had built. 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 salesman who ever lived, and has cheated death a number of times. He is also revered for his great follies and believed to be a
    savior of "Slack"
    . He was
    assassinated in San Francisco in 1984
    , though the Church claims that he has come back from the dead several times since then. The quotation marks in "Bob"'s name are always included when spelling his name, according to the Church.
