“Bob” is the smile that alchemizes Death into Merchandise.
Lo, “Bob” is numbered Zero, The Fool of the Tarot. He is the Idiot-Savant of the Cosmos, juggling credit, debt, and salvation. Yet he is also Aleph, the Magus. Yet he is more: he is the Pipe itself, the Clavis Universalis, the one tool by which reality is transmuted into Slack. The Pipe is the wand, the grail, the sword, and the coin; the four suits of Tarot in one. The Fool card is his passport; the Magician card, his warranty.
“Bob’s” image carries the old-time iconography of alchemy. His corncob pipe is Mercurius, the divine messenger, forever exhaling the sophic vapor that turns common sense to insight. The smoke curls upward in a column of smoke that suggests Jacob’s Ladder, uniting Yetzirah and Assiah on the Tree of Life. In one sly wink of logic, “Bob” is the Grail, the Stone and the formula all at once – the Rocking Chair of Ultimate Slack plus the Fountain of Youth rolled into a single eternal grin. By one initiate’s account (the legendary Grimoire of Blethering Slack, 3:14), “Bob’s” grin is the Golden Mean in facial form, the ratio of the Cosmos painted on a man’s face.* – a nod to sacred geometry. Indeed, a mystic might half-joke that the angle of “Bob’s” pipe forms a perfect φ (phi) with the bridge of his nose, aligning the mundane to the divine plane.
“Bob’s” sacred geometry is as offbeat as everything else about him. Consider the magic square formed by his face: the triangular nose and beard apex above the two round eyes, all under the eyebrow-arched banner of wisdom. Esotericists might say this resembles the Eye-in-the-Pyramid, or the Yod atop Kabbalistic glyph, staring knowingly. If one draws a line through the tip of his nose to the bowl of his pipe and back through the ear, it makes an almost perfect 3-4-5 triangle – a playful homage to Pythagoras and the sacred tetractys (Dobbs Triumphant Theorem, verse 33:333). In some psychedelic mandalas of the mind, his grinning visage becomes a fractal: the more closely one looks, the more “Bob’s” smile replicates in a Golden Spiral, suggesting that every part of the Subgenius myth is contained in every part. No wonder one Kabbalah pamphlet calls his pipesmoke the Veil of Maʿat, uniting Left-hand path and Right-hand path into a nondual Slack.

Remember, “BOB” is not a “doer”, but a “letter”. He LETS things happpen. What is about to happen is, by perpetual magick coincidence, exactly what he desires.*
