The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob: The Penn State Years

By Jim Cleaveland

A trade paperback anthology of the webcomic The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! Bob Smithson was the world's most average man... until the day he became a Weirdness Magnet. Now, spaceships crash into his roof, unicorns nibble his lawn, or world-destroying bombs get left on his doorstep every day. He's handling it surprisingly well, with a combination of kindness, common sense, and being too dense to be as scared as he should be. This volume collects the original four storylines which first ran in print form in the Penn State Science Fiction Society's Explosive Decompression and Hostigos from Nov. 1993 to May 1997:"The Fickle Finger of Fate:" A flying saucer crashes into Bob's roof, inaugurating Bob into the realms of the bizarre. The first appearance of Princess Voluptua."Boxhunt:" Bob is entrusted with a mysterious box, and then runs afoul of both a fire-breathing dragon and the government."Molly's Tale:" Bob meets his neighbor, whose lab accident suddenly comes to cute, pink, furry life. Molly's origin and Jean's first appearance."The Return of Princess Voluptua:" Bob and Jean's first date is interrupted by Voluptua's return from space with a friendly warning of impending annihilation.
