Daria Wiki

Bob is the name of a backgrounder given a name in Cafe Disaffecto by happy accident after fans found a seating chart was legible. He's in a number of Daria's classes.

Physical Appearance[]

Bob is a teenage male with spiky teal hair. He wears a nose piercing connected to his ear. He wears a lavender muscle tank with ripped sleeves, khaki cargo shorts that are ripped at the knees, and dark brown boots.

Bob's arm tattoos change from episode to episode, even appearing and disappearing, as a result of strange forces, or possibly he's using temporary tattoos for his image.

Chums

He shows up in the timeline montage at the start of Is It College Yet? as a punk in the 70s and 80s, both times cheering Kevin crushing a beer can. The second time, he shows it's a new era by having different colored hair.

Character Overview[]

Bob is a standard punk and in Jane's Addition, he is seen at the Zon smoking and drinking despite being too young. The obnoxious DJ's of Mental in the Morning met with his visible approval in Jake of Hearts. Bob even crashed Brittany's party in The Invitation, driving a car at the time and likely without a license. This makes it clear as to why he was put in O'Neill's self-esteem class in Esteemsters.

Despite all this wild behavior outside of school, he repeatedly shows up at school behaving: he's on the yearbook in The New Kid, dons a tux in Daria Dance Party, supports a homecoming parade in I Loathe a Parade, and even helps Mr. DeMartino pack up the classroom in Is It Fall Yet? and got invited to Britany's party in Groped by an Angel. Most at odds with his image and bad habits, he's one of the guys who buy the Fashion Club's newsletter in The Story of D (but doesn't actually read it).

Aside from his fellow party crasher in his first appearance, Bob has only ever been seen hanging with Burnout Girl and fellow punk-esque student Angel.
