"Bob" and "Connie"[]

"Bob" and "Connie" have had many children, grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. Their identities are usually kept secret for their protection.  The names of their sons were finally revealed in a revised version of the Book of the SubGenius, then later Rev. Ivan Stang finally revealed the name of their daughter who has an extremely famous copy as does their eldest son.

"Bob" has certainly, and "Connie" reportedly, had children with others.  They both practiced a form of "polygyny" or "pollyamory."

Children[]

The children they had together are:

  • Barbara "Garbs" Marsh-Dobbs: She was born out of wedlock on March 9, 1944, and until her parents' marriage in 1955 was said to be (and believed she was) Connie's younger sister.  Her image is even more famous than that of her father's, for she is the model for the Barbie doll.[11] [12]
  • Bubba Marsh-Dobbs: Bubba was born on March 11 or 13, 1946, and until his parents' marriage in 1955 was said to be (and believed he was) Connie's younger brother.  His image is almost as famous as his sister's, for he is the model for the Ken doll, Barbie's long-time boyfriend.[13]
  • J.R. "Bobby" Dobbs Jr.: He was the first of their children to be born in wedlock, which is why he bears his father's name.
  • Adam Kadmon Dobbs: The third son and the second child born in wedlock.
  • Shem Dobbs: The fourth son and the third child born in wedlock.
  • Shaun Dobbs: The fifth son and the fourth child born in wedlock.

Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren[]

They are too numerous to list, but here are a few.

  • Bonita "Bonnie" Dobbs: Great-granddaughter. Daughter of J.R. "Fiver" Dobbs V and Katelyn "Kat" Davis. Like her great-grandparents, a promiscuous model. Frequently attends X-Day events under her unknown SubGenius name.
  • Coco Dobbs: Great-granddaughter of "Connie", and Granddaughter, Great-granddaughter, and great niece of "Bob". Attended the first X-Day in 1998, then was "impregnated" by a tiny X-ist saucer and soon died. Her body and the cyborg fetus it contained were exhumed in 2017 by Dr. K'Taden Legume.
