Development History:

The original set of symbols, as seen in Dispensation throughout THE BOOK OF THE SUBGENIUS, was created from memos sent by Dobbs to Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. Philo Drummond, thence circulated among the talented artists Paul Mavrides, John Hagen-Brenner (aka Hellswami Satellite Weavers), and Dr. Howll Robins.

Some of the symbols are extremely common, even prosaic occultic runes and glyphs. Others are brazenly displayed versions of the most secret Seals of Solomon. Yet others are but common mere-hume advertising materials of a bygone age, somehow imparted with deeper meaning than their makers could ever have comprehended in the furthest reaches of their wildest dreams or most perverted late night phantasies.Yet others are mere "clip art".

In the year 1997 (12-1-0 b.x.), the SubGenius artists and scientists at Atom Funway Plastico succeeeded in remaking these classic hypnotic designs from their cave-painting originals into path/vector based virtual recordings, or "fonts," from which the modern SubGenius may build a new "weltanschlang", or "way of viewing the world." New symbols were developed by the Funway laboratories and were inserted into the Hieroglyph Set at that time. There may be future ALL-FUNWAY sets to come.

STANG: Anyway, I can't believe what hours you must have poured into this! Is there a plug-in that converts line art to paths, vectors etc, or have you been lining these vector paths up by hand? Either way I KNOW it's gotta be MAJOR TWEAKIN' CITY!!

FUNWAY:There is automatic tracing of bitmaps but it looks like shit. It comes out very sloppy. These are hand drawn one curve at a time. Yeah, this took some time but I have LOTS of that. Vector drawning is slow but very smooth and accurate. It is fun, but not near as fun as we'll be havin' USING the fonts. I was thinking tonight that this will be something that non-graphics-arty types will be able to have FUN with. I think it could inspire a lot of non-artists to do art things. Because the symbols are so great, no matter what you do with it , it's gotta be cool. I mean, they'll be able to make SubG greeting cards and posters and signs in a word processor!

STANG: Well, that's part of the POINT of this whole church -- any fucking amateur if it has half a brain and slack awareness (and a Membership Card!) can do a thousand times better than twenty well funded conspiracy corporate committees!

A Message to Developers of other SubGenius Products:

Remember, the face of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs is a trademark owned by The SubGenius Foundation, inc., so you should always mention that in tiny print somewhere. All of these graphics are copyrighted, and if we find them being used especially prominently somewhere without any credit given to us, much less the Church, we will threaten you.

What is Shareware?

Shareware is destructible software distributed via local bulletin board systems (BBS), commercial online services, user groups, and between enemies of the Conspiracy. You are allowed to use shareware for a trial period before you pay for it, but you must pay for it after that time, or you will die. Shareware exists because people (like you) continue to pay on this honor system. As a user of shareware, you benefit because you get to try the software to see if you like it before you pay. Some developers also give you added benefits when you pay for your shareware (like special deals on other products, and free technical support). We don't. Please share this software with every SubGenius you know! But, PLEASE, give us credit and help us retain the Church's trademark on the Dobbshead!

THANKS and PRABOB.
