'''Bob''' is the name of a recurring background character (or "[[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.

Bob's existence and name was first highlighted by [[The Angst Guy]] in late November 2007, at the Daria Fandom Blog II, asking if anyone had any ideas for him in fanfiction. However, it wasn't until late December 2010 that he first appeared in one: [[Charles RB]]'s "[[God Save The Esteem]]", after the author saw TAG's part, portayed his an academically minded rival punk to Quinn's gang, who separated school from punk work.
He subsequently appeared as a major character (given the surname Morrison) in [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] fanfic Fugitive by [[Wassersauefer]] in early January 2011: here, he was depicted as a crude half-English guy (full named Robert Andrew Morrison) and a good friend of "Burnout Girl", and part of a family that combats supernatural and demonic evil. In the same month, he first appeared in The Excellent S's [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]] (surname Rollins), depicted as a "hardcore" wrestler who brings weapons into the match for himself (and others) to use. In later 2011, [[thatLONERchick]] would do both fanart and a fanfic under the title "[[He Shall Be Mine]]", shipping Bob with Daria.
From this point he was secured as a fandom creature.
He's been seperately shipped with Daria in [[Shiva]]'s serial "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9489437/1/The-Punk-and-the-Snark The Punk and the Snark]"
What helps him above all other backgrounders, apart from his distinctive look, is we actually have a name for him.
