Combining politics, surrealism, and pop-culture hilarity, Bob the Angry Flower is an edgy, trenchantly political, and achingly funny comic-strip character. Whether he's building killer robots, running for Pope, or getting creamed at 20 Questions, Bob is locked, loaded, and ready to destroy the earth—unless there's something good on TV. This collection of syndicated comic classics, the first to be published in the United States, is unpredictable, original, and wholly outrageous—perfect for disaffected teenagers, jaded grown-ups, disgruntled geeks, and Peter Pans of all ages.
Stephen Notley is a cartoonist who has published four previous Bob the Angry Flower collections, including Coffee With Sinistar, Everybody vs. Bob the Angry Flower, In Defence of Fascism, and The Ultimate Book of Perfect Energy!!! He lives in Seattle.
