Bob the Angry Flower is a funny and original web comic strip about a not-very-nice flower named Bob. Bob is into a little bit of everything. He tries to push Xaxor pills to an old man. Xaxor supposedly gives back missing zest and zing, as well as curing incontinence. The side effect of of excruciating bone pain almost never happens. Bob is also paranoid about security, complaining that his tactical high energy lasers and other high-tech security measures can’t protect him from magic, the literary assault or emotional vulnerabilities. Bob doesn’t just stop at being crazy; he also rises to the occasion of becoming political satire at times, as in the strip, Hiding Behind Women and Children, Eh? Interesting annotations provide commentary on the strips. Apparently, originally, Bob was going to be the kind of character who would stand on the street and scream at people for no reason. Through the annotations, you can follow Stephen Notley’s thoughts behind the development of the comic.

Created by Stephen Notley, Bob the Angry Flower and his sidekicks Stumpy and Freddie the Flying Fetus have gathered enough of a following on the web to fill a Yahoo Bob the Angry Flower group with 734 members. There are also several Bob the Angry Flower books available to buy directly from the angryflower.com website. The books are carried in just a few stores, such as Comic Relief in Berkeley, California.
