History Characters / TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob

* GenerationXerox: His son [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Garfunkel]] is like a miniature version of him, only ''more'' obnoxious. His other son [[Creator/MarxBrothers Zeppo]] seems nicer, but tends to follow Garfunkle's lead.

* SuddenlyEthnicity: When the subject of characters' family backgrounds came up, he bruptly announced that he's two thirds Mexican.

* GivenNameReveal: At a fan's suggestion, his name was finally revealed to be [[Creator/KelseyGrammer Kelsey.]] [[PunnyName Get it?]]

* MetaGuy: Scarcely ever directly actually interacts with anyone except the LemonyNarrator.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Galatea accidently injuried Jolly, and when she realised her mistake, she becomes horrified at the prospect of [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/507 being like the scientist who raised her]].

Galatea (or Golly, as Bob has nicknamed her) is a clone of Molly secretly grown by Jean's boss, Dean Martin (no, not ''[[Music/DeanMartin that]]'' Dean Martin). During her one-month childhood, the dean treated her as a lab specimen, never showing any love or parental compassion, though he did allow her access to his library full of books by Nietzsche and Ayn Rand. When she finally escaped from him, she had become intensely paranoid and bitter, and believed herself and Molly to be ubermenschen destined to overthrow mankind. Thanks to Bob, Molly, and Jean, she has calmed down, and her megalomaniacal ambitions have abated somewhat. She has apparently become a successful burglar (Bob, Jean, and Molly are unaware of this), thus financing a ritzy life for herself in Paris (Molly knows she's been living in Paris, but has been too naive to ask how she's supporting herself). She has invented a holographic projector disguised as a hat, with which she can appear human, though she usually gets by without it through sheer audacity (most people are too polite or too startled to point out how weird she looks). She can be distinguished from Molly by the fact that Golly likes to wear ''clothes,'' while Molly is a happy furry nudist.

The webcomic's own detailed character descriptions can be found [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/CharAll.html here.]]

* PapaWolf: Has a calmer temperament than [[MamaBear Jean]], but he is every bit [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20090516.html as protective of Molly as she is]].

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: He's very good in this department. [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20101002.html Lampshaded here]]. This is partly out of [[TechnicalPacifist preference,]] and partly from being fully aware that he's a lousy combatant.

* WeirdnessMagnet: And Jean is more than capable of [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20110412.html exploiting it]]. She's even considered ''studying'' it, but the potential consequences of doing so worry her.

Jean is a biologist at Generictown University. She met Bob when they [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20060829.html collided on the sidewalk.]] She was carrying her life's work, a genetic experiment in a test tube, and Bob was carrying a jar of peanut butter--the two combined to form Molly the Peanut Butter Monster. Bob asked Jean to coffee, and after a couple of dates they hit it off very well and began going steady. Jean is much better educated than Bob, and better able to grasp the implications of much of what goes on in his life (this is not necessarily an advantage, as it freaks her out a lot of the time). She is far more emotional than Bob, and when in a bad mood her fury has been known to frighten Sasquatches. She is currently raising Molly, and loves her deeply. She laments the state of her career, because her experiment was ruined (and she's reluctant to expose Molly to much scientific scrutiny).

* TheWorldIsJustAwesome: Jean's in [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20091006.html spaaaaaaayce...!]]

* NotSoDifferent: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]]. Galatea accidently injuried Jolly, and when she realised her mistake, she becomes horrified at the prospect of [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20101113.html being like the scientist who raised her]].

* TrueCompanions: Has identified Molly, Bob, and Jean as [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20130903.html the only three people in the cosmos whom she loves.]]

* DontYouDarePityMe: [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20110201.html Considers this]] to be a FateWorseThanDeath.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's cute, but never make her mad enough to [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20111115.html eat you.]] Okay, she didn't swallow [[AssholeVictim Slick,]] but she chewed on him and spat him out.

* {{Bishounen}}: [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20120908.html Lari is this explicitly.]]

* GoNagaiSideburns: [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20130326.html Molly describes Shempu]] as "an old school [[{{Shounen}} Shonen]]-type with wild hair and big fuzzy sideburns!"

* {{Moe}}: And she is [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20120626.html indeed.]]

* AlienGeometries: The [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20150113.html bizarre physics]] of the ship's interior.

* BigRedButton: [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20141018.html How Golly made him.]]

* ShoutOut: The Nemesite term for [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20141018.html Butterflies of Iron]] is ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/InAGaddaDaVida I'naga Dha Davveeda.]]''

%% * {{Jerkass}}:

* InterspeciesRomance: Since Nemesites [[ImmortalProcreationClause live two thousand years, they don't have a very strong reproductive drive;]] but they do get lonely, and will sometimes pursue a romance of sorts with an alien purely on the basis of personality.

* StarfishAliens: An insectoid.

* GiantFlyer: He's a dragon.
* InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler: With Voluptua.]]

* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: He's very good in this department. [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20101002.html Lampshaded here]]. This is partly out of [[TechnicalPacifist preference,]] and partly from being [[RealityEnsues fully aware that he's a lousy combatant.]]

* StarfishAlien: An insectoid.

* PoliticallyActivePrincess: She's very politically savvy.She has to deal with the awkward relationship between the dragons and the Nemesite Empire, she's expressed a desire for political reforms in the empire, and she's made it her personal mission to help ease Earth into full membership in the Empire peacefully.

She has to deal with the awkward relationship between the dragons and the Nemesite Empire, she's expressed a desire for political reforms in the empire, and she's made it her personal mission to help ease Earth into full membership in the Empire peacefully.

* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: It's a running gag that, as a bishounen, Lari is usually surrounded by a cloud of sparkles (at least, when his ninja mask is off).

* MonsterSobStory: His backstory is actually quite tragic; yet, as Bob points out, it still doesn't justify anything he's currently doing.

* SchoolIsForLosers: Toyed with. Jean was an extremely gifted student as a child, but she despised school. She says others had a hard time understanding this. Ironically, she grew up to be a college teacher — and still basically hates it, wanting to do pure scientific research.

* CatchPhrase: Moé has ''"Oro?"'' Japanese for "Huh?" A reference to ''Anime/RurouniKenshin.''
