kind of obsessed with how the stock image of the business man chuffin down a fat doobie was the 80s/90s equivalent of the jerma sus face we have now like humanity never changes we literally will just pick a guy and put him everywhere as a massive inside joke and noone knows why the fuck we continue to do so

A Pamphlet Of Rebellion

Recently I created a pamphlet for the Dobbstown Mirror, a SubGenius* newsletter. This simple c-fold creation had the best quotes of the Church founder J.R. “Bob” Dobbs so my fellow members had easy access to them.  What was a simple creative effort became more when I held the print run in my hands.

Here was something published made for love, not money – in fact I spent money on it.  I write as part of my career, but also write as a kind of side business/hobby where I do charge for books.  But here was something I deliberately “lost” money on as opposed to losing it on writing something no one wanted.

Here was something that was what I wanted to do.  There were no requests, no market calculations, nothing separate from my own creative drive.  It was what I wanted to do, to share with others – they didn’t even have to like it in a way.

Finally, this pamphlet was created to be distributed with a newsletter.  It was not thrown up on a website or entered into a marketing stream. It was part of something intimate, a newsletter that was part of a community.  You tossed it into an envelope and sent it to folks.

I felt many things, but one that stood out was a sense of rebellion.

I’m so used to things being written for money, hearing about audience calculations, and reading about distribution optimization.  Instead, here was something I spent money on in a giant “what the hell, this seems fun.”  Creativity that’s not part of the endless cycle of acquisition and capitalism we’re all too used to (and trapped in).

Such an experience is making me think about creativity outside of the profit motive, creativity for fun, for community.  I had been missing something, and this helped me understand how rebellious it can feel to just do something for people for fun.

Now I should note that in no way am I against people making a profit from creative works.  I want people to be able to make a living on their creative efforts.  I want artists of all kinds supported – and am glad to support them.  It’s just nice to get out of the endless cycle of profit-seeking and optimization.

Oh and you can print your own - get it and other Dobbsaganda here.

January 23rd St. Bobcat’s Day - J. R. "Bob" Dobbs Day

According to Discordians Camden Benares and John F. Carr, Discordians claim "Bob"'s actual name is Robert Catman Dobbs. A Texan, he was born to Fred C. Dobbs and Sara Modrey. He is also known as St. Bobcat and the Dealey Lama. He spent much of his life aiding unfortunates who joined the Sub Dude cult. The book How to Have Fun and Be Happy says that Discordians celebrate St. Bobcat’s Day each January 23 (presumably "Bob"'s birthday) by saying hello to people named Bob and petting cats.

J.R. "Bob" Dobbs is or was the founder of the Church of the SubGenius, holding the titles of High Epopt and Living Slack Master, and is the greatest salesman the world has ever known. He has a grin and smokes frop in his pipe, is a full-blooded Yeti, is famous for his slogans, and has more Slack than any other SubGenius. His face is the basis of the iconic Dobbshead as well as the Dobbs Ikon.

So as I explained to the Circle K cashier because I am of blood decent from the Yeti, J.R. BoB Dobbs used me as a vessel from the Luck Plane to invest in Cryptid currency schemes (The amulet in which I trapped an angel crackles loudly around my neck)
