** Sadly as ridiculous as it is, the strip is a political allegory for a very real situation.
*** While it clearly was timed to reference Iraq, the arguments presented apply to a great deal of political debates on numerous subjects.

--> I was surprised to learn from the opening credits that the name of the movie was ''Battle Los Angeles''. Not ''Battle: L.A.'' or even ''BattleLosAngeles'', but just ''Battle Los Angeles''. In a way, just typing it out now, it's brilliant. Because the movie is all about battling Los Angeles.\\

** The author did later admit that cartoon was written at a time he hadn't actually read ''Literature/AtlasShrugged'' and the cartoon is factually inaccurate. Dagny Taggart ''can'' cook for herself, Hank Rearden ''did'' invent the alloys himself, and Francisco d'Anconia ''probably'' [[ArsonMurderJaywalking shouldn't have been depicted as a blonde]].

Bob The Angry Flower is a surreal webcomic by Stephen Notley, updated every Monday.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Hamsterfall, an in-universe example of a supervillain who... Let him explain.

Bob The Angry Flower is a webcomic that is ... ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. And so much more.

The main characters are:

* Bob, a flower who is angry, with pastimes including [[MadScientist mad science]], real science, making everyone happy, [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing people]], robots and {{ray gun}}s. And [[CrossesTheLineTwice genocide]].
* Freddie the Flying Fetus alternates between exceedingly happy and having a lot of unfortunate things happen to him.
* Stumpy, a humanoid tree stump, is arguably the OnlySaneMan in the comic, except for when real people make an appearance.

Recurring fictional characters include Plantae, a {{supervillain}} with plant powers and Remora Joe who has two fish attached to his face. Lovebot is almost a {{spinoff}} in his own right. Bob once made a robot designed to love and set him loose ForScience. He's still out there.

Non-fictional characters are mostly one-offs, with the exception of Kofi Annan, who has accompanied Bob on monster-killing missions, evaded ill-defined pursuit and it gets weirder.
