Bob Black

Bob Black has made a name for himself as an "anarchist," and his essay "The Abolition of Work" has become famous in underground circles. He’s also well-known as a stuck-up jerk who can harbor a grudge for years.

And if you mention the Church of the SubGenius in Bob Black’s presence, you will be guaranteed to receive a rant from him that covers these two topics: 1) A member of the Church of the SubGenius sent a “mail bomb” to Bob Black, and he promptly reported it to the police; and 2) another member of the Church stole Bob Black’s girlfriend.

Regarding the second matter: Not only did a SubGenius steal Bob Black’s girlfriend, he even went as far as to marry her. What a shame! Orton Nenslo and Donna Kossy (the publisher of "Book Happy" ) are still happily married to this very day. Poor Bob Black.

And as for the matter of the "mail bomb:" Black has published his own thoughts on the matter, in an article entitled "Bomb 'em If They Can't Take A Joke." Strangely enough, this incident is considered ancient history to everyone in the Church of the SubGenius, except Bob Black.
