Bob The Angry Flower is a surreal webcomic by Stephen Notley, updated every Monday.The titular Bob is a 5-foot-tall anthropomorphic flower (a "daisy-dandelion-sunflower crossbreed, the kind that walks and talks", according to Notley) who frequently dabbles in mad science, actual science, robots, genocide, traveling through time and space, with a tendency to rant at anyone about anything, or just pull whatever crazy compulsive scheme he can think of. Accompanying Bob is Straight Man Stumpy, a walking, talking stump who often serves as the voice of reason against Bob's insane antics, though is often ignored or even roped into Bob's schemes. Also with them is Freddie the Flying Fetus, a talking, floating fetus whose child-like innocence often gets him into trouble, usually by Bob.The comics themselves are mostly black-and-white one-shot comics, very few of which have overlapping plots. The humor is very random and chaotic with loads of non-sequiturs, with the punchline often being that there is no punchline. | |

Bob the Angry Flower (Webcomic) / int_254fb9cb | comment |
Anticlimax: Many comics involve setting up an extremely over-the-top solution to a problem, only for it to be resolved through mundane means at the last moment. | |

Crapsack Only by Comparison | |
Bob the Angry Flower (Webcomic) / int_2afa0da5 | comment |
Crapsack Only by Comparison: In one comic, Bob dies and goes to heaven; he realizes that everything up there is so awesome that people still living on earth are in agony, relatively speaking. He then jumps down to earth, saying "I've gotta kill everyone!" | |

Ray Gun: Bob has all sorts, from a peace ray that Time-Grabbed Jesus tries to steal, to a seahorse ray and even an unexplained Donut Ray that appears to be meant to show all his enemies in one go that he could have killed them but chose to give them donuts instead. Freddie appears to have a ray gun capable of destroying Plot, when the storyline insists his attempt to save the day will fail. | |

Take That! | |
Bob the Angry Flower (Webcomic) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: As an online discussion of Objectivism continues, the odds of this Bob the Angry Flower Strip◊ being linked approaches 1:1.note The author did later admit that cartoon was written at a time he hadn't actually read Atlas Shrugged and the cartoon is factually inaccurate. Dagny Taggart can cook for herself, Hank Rearden did invent the alloys himself, and Francisco d'Anconia probably shouldn't have been depicted as a blonde. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: Bob escapes from Dr. Renticulus using a skeleton's fear of raisins◊. One strip has Bob running a hot roasted peanut stand◊, and figuring out that his customers are actually supervillains who plan on using them to attack Allergy Man in his Anaphylactic Fortress. Insectoid warrior-drones LOVE singing kitties!◊ Invoked in Achilles' Heel◊ - but subverted in that, whatever Ultraman's weakness is, Bob's got it embarrassingly wrong. | |

Shout-Out | |
Bob the Angry Flower (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many, mostly to Science Fiction series or books. One to Neon Genesis Evangelion, of all things. Many, many strips involve Daleks, such as this one. This strip has the same premise as Isaac Asimov's The Martian Way, although a vastly different outcome. Here Bob fights against Pak ramscoops. Here to They Live!. | |
